Bangkok has announced a ban on indoor dining and gatherings of more than 20 people, in addition to the closure of construction sites and the sealing off of workers’ quarters in the capital and nine other provinces due to growing number of Covid-19 cases, according to an AP report.

The new measures will remain in place for 30 days.

Thailand reported 3,995 confirmed cases and 42 dead in the last 24 hours. The numbers have doubled recently and health officials blame a lack of cooperation from migrant workers employed in construction and in factories.
