As the government added 16 provinces to the lockdown and curfew group, the cabinet on Tuesday approved an additional 30 billion baht to help workers and entrepreneurs in those provinces.
Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said people and entrepreneurs in the 16 new provinces affected by the lockdown will receive the same rates of financial aid as the 13 provinces already dealing with the government measures, provided via the Social Security Fund.

A plan to raise $6 million in taxes over four years would allow South Burlington to buy and protect more open space, a conservation group says.
South Burlington Land Trust s proposal, presented to city councilors on Monday, calls for an annual tax increase of about $100 per year for owners of a median-priced condo, or about $158 for a median-priced single-family home.
The temporary tax hike would speed the city s ability to conserve rural land at a time when demand for housing has prompted more widespread development, according to a summary letter by the nonprofit land trust s president, Sarah Dopp.
Boosting SoBu s Open Space/Conservation Fund would also demonstrate a commitment to reducing the impacts of rapid climate change, she added.
