a brochure is showed of how things go in Bangkok, you are able to make an on line appointment.

Further there is nothing new and no new announcements other then some foreigners working in Embassies.

And as those foreigners do not make the rules in Thailand it is just another rumor.

Please do not panic, the Thai Immigration will come with a statement.

I arrived on 11 March on a 60 day tourist visa, which was issued by the Thai embassy in South Africa.

. So you're on amnesty now. You can make an appointment and see if you are covered by what this poster is stating. Take the usual documents for a normal extension

There are 70 immigration offices in the country, AND last time they took embassy letters for "unable to travel due to covid-19" extensions there was a HUGE disparity between what each office wanted as far as documentation. I'd say call your immigration office OR post on a f/b page related to where you live in thailand and see what was required at your office last time
