Phuket, which is implementing the Phuket sandbox model, is extending Covid restrictions until the end of this month due to rising numbers of new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases.
The restrictions, which include sealing off the island to outsiders, take effect on Tuesday and run to Aug 31.
Phuket governor Narong Woonciew said he agreed with the Phuket Communicable Disease Committee on the need to extend the restrictions and signed an order on Saturday.
Mr Narong said Phuket announced it would extend its border entrance controls. No one is allowed to enter Phuket by land (the Tha Chatchai checkpoint), sea (every seaport) or air, except children younger than six years under parental supervision and 16 groups of people.
