Soldiers man a checkpoint to check drivers entering Phichit province in northern Thailand on Tuesday (April 7) evening to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Provincial governor Sirirat Chumuprakan was directing the checkpoint, checking the ID of motorists and their temperature.
He said: "I have issued the measure banning tourists and any non-residents as we want to control the spread of the disease. Further, anyone born here but who is returning from another region must self-quarantine for 14days."
Thailand has declared 2,369 cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus and 30 deaths. The disease comes from Wuhan, China.
Thailand's measures to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic include a ban on all passenger flights, mandatory face masks, a national 10pm curfew and the closure of all non-essential customer-facing businesses.
