Doctors have warned against the government's plan to extend the operating hours of pubs to 4am to boost the economy, citing the potential for more road accidents and the risk of further Covid-19 infections.
Dr Prasit Watanapa, dean of Mahidol University's Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, on Friday expressed his concern about allowing pubs and bars to stay open later, saying that the present closing time of 2am is late enough given the current Covid-19 situation.
