Banglamung District set up four checkpoints to limit movement in and out of Chonburi’s hottest coronavirus hotspot.
The road stops in front of Banglamung Police Station, Big C South Pattaya, Huay Yai Police Station and Chalermprakiat intersection screen motorists for fevers, collect information on where and why people are entering or leaving the district and – despite the fact that nearly all of Chonburi’s Covid-19 cases are Thais – prohibit the exit of migrant workers from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.
Officers also are stopping motorcyclists not wearing helmets and giving out free helmets in some cases.
