There will be more zones where eased Covid-19 controls apply and pubs, bars, karaoke shops and massage parlours will be allowed to reopen in 31 provinces on June 1, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration decided on Friday.

CCSA spokesman Taweesilp Visanuyothin said 14 provinces would become Covid-19 surveillance (green) zones and the number of tourism pilot (blue) zones would rise from 12 to 17 provinces. The 46 other provinces will be close surveillance (yellow) zones, down from 65 provinces.
