PHUKET: At least 14 government-operated schools, colleges and universities in Phuket have closed over fears of COVID-19 spreading.
Notices of the closures were posted this morning (Dec 23).
The closures follow a man in Kathu testing positive for COVID-19 after attending a big bike rally on Koh Lanta, Krabi, where he came into direct contact with an infected man from Samut Sakhon.
The Phuket man had three children attending schools in Phuket. Two of the children attended Phuket Wittayalai School in Phuket Town and the third attended kindergarten classes at Kajonkietpattana School in Wichit.
