(Post Today photo)Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has allowed some groups or sectors to be excluded from a nationwide curfew that keeps people at home to facilitate their work. In a televised update on Friday, Gen Prayut said he had signed an order to allow people in selected sectors to work during the curfew from 10pm to 4am. The order also allows people employed at petrol stations and public utilities to work during the curfew. Food delivery and garbage collection are exempted during the curfew hours, as are people who need to work at nighttime such as guards, fishermen and rubber tappers. Nationwide arrests for curfew violations have topped 1,000 for the past three nights, but authorities said on Friday they see no need to extend the curfew hours as long as the majority of the public complies.
