On Friday nearly 2,000 people arrived in Trang province from Phuket and Phangnga provinces. Trang authorities ordered them to remain at specified quarantine facilities for 14 days. Those who reached homes must be brought to heavily guarded quarantine places as home quarantine is not allowed.

Heavy traffic to Trang continued on Saturday and caused a few kilometers of congestion on highways connecting Trang with Krabi and Nakhon Si Thammarat provinces. (TNA)
