Residents of the capital Vientiane are barred from leaving the city and outsiders must get permission to enter. Its international borders were closed except to trucks carrying goods and in cases allowed by the nation's COVID-19 task force, state news agency KPL reported. It said the lockdown order signed by Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh also prohibits all Vientiane residents from leaving their homes except for essential food shopping, hospital visits and other authorised tasks. The restrictions last until May 5. [link to www.channelnewsasia.com (secure)]

The media is all totally censored in Laos and they are trying to pain a rosier picture. Hospital resources are totally stressed. Nobody wants to go to a clinic when they feel sick, because they are afraid they will get locked up. People are dying at home and you can walk about the town and see every single temple crematorium has smoke coming from them continuously. It's really grim. I would leave but all flights are cancelled. Just hope I don't get sick with anything.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80272008 They locked everything down on Thursday due to Thailand's exploding cases. Vientiane is right across the Mekong River from Thailand, so there is a lot of traffic back and forth.
