Dr Chatuchai said the new infections were found to have been linked to seven local entertainment venues. He said to cope with a surge in new cases, the provincial communicable disease control panel will set up a field hospital. The field hospital will be set up at the Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre. It will be operational on April 9 he said.

Deputy Chiang Mai governor Weeraphan Dee-on said on Thursday that the communicable disease control committee ordered the closure of all entertainment venues including pubs and karaoke bars for seven days from April 9. All entertainment places which opened on Thursday were also asked to submit lists of customers to the provincial panel.

The panel also resolved to ban alcohol consumption at all types of restaurants during the same period, said the deputy governor.
