Police and government officials patrol the tourist city of Pattaya, eastern Thailand, on Saturday night (April 4) to ensure locals are following a COVID-19 curfew.<br /><br />Bars and restaurants in the popular destination were closed last month before ministers announced a strict curfew between 10pm and 4am each night. They warned that a travel ban using roadblocks to prevent travel into and out of the region could be announced unless coronavirus cases fall in the coming days.<br /><br />A large red mechanical machine that sprays sanItising liquid was also unveiled on the city's Walking Street. The device is being used to cleanse the areas.<br /><br />Chonburi province governor Phakharathorn Thianchai said: ''We will assess the situation over the next one or two days and make a decision bout implementing a full lock down in Pattaya.''
