Nakhon Ratchasima authorities are considering a partial lockdown for Pak Chong and Bua Yai districts after the province reported 42 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday.
Governor Vichien Chantaranothai said the coronavirus outbreak in the province was worrying, particularly in these two districts, as the accumulated cases in the province are rising to 509.
He said a disease investigation team was looking into whether the new infections were from a new cluster, or not. If a new cluster is identified, it would be necessary to impose a lockdown on the two districts to control movement in and out, but it would focus on some tambons, not entire districts.
