Published on the Royal Gazette's website late on Saturday night, the restrictions apply to Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Pathum Thani, Narathiwat, Songkhla, Pattani, and Yala -- provinces which have been classified by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) as "maximum and strict control zones", also known as "dark red" zones.
