DavisH Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 1 hour ago, orchidfan said: Read the full article.... It is VISITORS, and Thais returning, from these countries will be subject to. 14 days self quarantine. Two separate groups . I don't see many tourists coming to Thailand to only be holed up in their room for the length of their stay. They will either cancel their trip (and likely lose their money - unless the airline cancels the flight) or ignore the government's advice. Neither result in positive.

What about the tourists arriving from these destinations? I guess that is fine. Tourists from Western high risk areas like Germany should show a clearance certificate from their local doctors and eventually a vaccination against seasonal flu to avoid quarantine in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nglodnig Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Press release yesterday from MOPH: https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/file/news/news_no38_030363.pdf Quote: 2. Unexposed groups including both Thai people and foreigners with travel history from affected areas, but who did not have exposure to patients and who are not exhibiting suspected symptoms are requested to reduce social activities, wear a mask when leaving their accommodations, wash hands frequently, not go to crowded areas, and observe your symptoms at home for 14 days. If you have a fever, cough, or sore throat, see a doctor immediately and report your travel history. Fake News. I'll find out tomorrow, when I arrive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self quarantine at home, do not mix with the public... mixing with other family members is fine & they will go outside to mix for them. ridiculous!

Does connecting thru that airport mean that I should self quarantine upon my return? Or is that only required if I spend time outside of that airport? I don't plan to leave the airport but do have a 5 hour layover there. Hmmmm..... Just looking for clarification! I suspect you can do what you want when you return. It’s what most people will do.

humbug Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 40 minutes ago, Leef said: Macao has had zero new cases for a substantial period of time. Taiwan has less cases than Thailand. Hong Kong’s cases seem under control. I guess the Thai government is lumping them in with the mainland in order to toady up to their masters in Beijing. Maybe Prayut and co will get new Rolexes from Beijing. Taiwan, I can imagine tried to contain the spread early on, but the others are controlled by CCP China and recently the editor of apple daily was arrested in HK,as he was going to publish the details of 20,000 infected patients in HK from mild to critical, and as we keep being lied to by China would like the world to know there are only a few hundred infections in HK, these gangster regimes just lie, normally we can laugh at them with zero unemployment figures, huge uptick in export figures due to an amazing trillion dollar gold export, gdp figures through the roof, this time they allowed a 3.4 death rate virus to come in for months without any major effort of containment, let’s hope the future has repercussions for all these gangsters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It says Thais returning AND Visitors so that's everybody. How they will implement is another matter. Will probably ask Thais and Visitors to sign a paper saying they will self quarantine then find them and Lock Up or evict them respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The notion of the supposed policy (whether it takes effect or not) was two-fold: --sick people would be required to go to medical facilities for treatment. --people who don't show any symptoms from the designated countries would be asked to SELF quarantine wherever they're going to be staying here. Whether the OP news report is correct or fake news, at this point, I have no idea. Edited March 4, 2020 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bloggs Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 People are just pig ignorant and only care about themselves. 1st the chinese not staying put and going back to their home provinces. 2nd The chinese student who flew to Dubai and then entered Australia by saying he didnt come from China, naturally he is infected, I hope the least he gets is deported at some stage These are just the tip of the iceberg, good luck all.

beano2274 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Wanted to go to see my wife and child and return to Germany with them, but planned only for 10 days, with 14 days quarantine can I fly back to Germany? Actually thinking it is not worth it. Hold a British Passport and would fly from the Netherlands, which is not on the list, as I hold a UK Passport would they know I came from Germany (the high risk area in NRW)? Could use my Mums address in the UK on the Immigration form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
