Very cool, I'm assuming the schools will be closed and people will be encouraged to work from home, which means more classes for me.

All 11 Pty (gov) schools are closed, but teachers are still going in, it seems the glorious ones have crossed fingers and deemed them immune.

Just back from a virtually empty Central, then through Mike's feeling sorry for the vendors still paying rent, and it wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to call the rest of central Pattaya a ghost town.

Was the previous emergency decree due to end before NYE?

Thus all public NYE events and celebrations are off?
