ThailandRyan Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) However, I would hold off as to the way its perceived and see what the Thai government says about infected countries traveling here.

stretch5163 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) The UK seems to be the same the actual travel ban on the FCO website has been lifted so for most of Thailand its safe to travel there its just getting there thats the actual problem. Also with the FCO lifting the ban insurance policies are more easily acquired. Edited August 9, 2020 by stretch5163 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 New Zealand listed as low risk? US recently issued in its travel website a 2nd level travel warning due to New Zealand's 23 active cases. Not mentioned is that all 23 cases are in managed isolation. 2nd level asks US citizens to "exercise increased caution in New Zealand due to the covid 19 virus. Level 1 "exercise normal precautions" https://nzherald.co.nz/travel/news/article.cfm?c_id=7&objectid=12354666 So not the lowest risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
