REUTERS: Borys Tashchy and Lim Sang-hyub were on target as three-times continental champions Pohang Steelers kicked off their 2021 Asian Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Thailand's Ratchburi in Bangkok on Tuesday. The South Koreans, who last won the title in 2009, took the three points in their Group G opener at the Rajamangala Stadium before Nagoya Grampus picked up a 1-0 victory over Johor Darul Ta'zim from Malaysia. Hiroyuki Abe's close-range finish in the 60th minute earned the Japanese side their win, although the midfielder's strike angered JDT defence who claimed he was offside. Tashchy had earlier given Pohang the lead in the 11th minute when he beat two Ratchburi defenders to head home Manuel Palacios' cross from the right. Kim Gi-dong's side had to wait until nine minutes from time before confirming their win when Lim struck, the winger stepping in from the right to smash his effort beyond the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Kampol Pathomattakul. ... » Learn More about Football: Pohang make winning start to Asian Champions League campaign

Yesterday, June 21st, 2021, the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration, or CCSA, Thailand’s “brain” for the design and implementation of Covid-19 related policies responded to multiple requests from the entertainment industry for a way out of the current crisis. First, as a reference point, all entertainment venues, which includes bars, nightclubs, gogos, gentlemen’s clubs, karaoke bars, pubs, and similar style places have been closed for about two and a half months from a national order by the CCSA to “control the spread of Covid-19.” This is a hard closure, although they allowed some provinces to sell alcohol at restaurants earlier this week. Of course, enforcement is different from the rule which is part of the problem, but the actual order is they are closed. This was after the current “wave” of Covid-19 tallied up thousands of cases a day in the country and many blame it on an original outbreak from entertainment venues in Thonglor in Bangkok.
