BANGKOK: A senior official of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) inspected the famous and tourist hotspot Chatuchak Weekend Market on Saturday (May 9) on the first day of its reopening after being closed since March 22 under a government order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

Wullaya Wattanarat, deputy permanent secretary of the city administration, said: “The BMA will allow the market to open on weekends from 5am to 6pm in all zones except the watch tower and night market zones due to curfew restrictions.

To prevent the possible spread of Covid-19, BMA has limited access to the market from six locations, which will have screening checkpoints equipped with thermo-scanners at all locations.“All vendors and customers must wear sanitary or cloth face masks, while restaurants must comply with social distancing measures announced by the Ministry of Public Health, ” she added.
