Retailers and malls nationwide have been asked to close earlier at 9pm, following the private sector’s most recent bid to help curb the country’s third Covid-19 outbreak, Bangkok Post reported.
Yol Phokasub, president of Thai Retailers Association (TRA), said on Wednesday the TRA and Thai Shopping Centre Association (TSCA) jointly announced to their members and trade partners nationwide that they must maximise their Covid-19 screening measures.
Both associations asked their members to close earlier at 9pm, starting from today and until further notice.
These businesses are also being advised to suspend all activities that would involve gatherings of large numbers of people. They are further being advised to have their staff work from home as much as possible, said Mr Yol.
He said the two associations hope their move will lead to more action by the private sector in supporting the country’s work to contain Covid-19 and ending the latest wave of the outbreak as soon as possible.
