On PA forum the Pattaya News fb page is quoted as saying the cut off date for arrivals for already approved Thai Pass holders is 15 January, so maybe not everyone.

However, on 15 January, the situation will be assessed again.

Yes Pdoggg, never mind what sensible precautions you may take the problem will be  the sheer volume of people congested into a tight space.
