Supermarkets, convenience stores, and other similar stores are still allowed to open from 4am to 10pm, according to the announcement. Meanwhile, the government has also come up with measures to deal with the 14,000 Thais stranded overseas who are waiting to return to the country amid the global pandemic. For those who can stay abroad without any trouble, please stay there longer. The government is figuring out how much financial aid to provide as there are Thais stranded overseas while others are stranded near the border. Dr Taweesilp said the 54 new cases included 22 people in close contact with previous patients, 11 of them in Bangkok.
