Travellers who have returned to the UK from a series of Asian countries in the last two weeks and are showing coronavirus symptoms should self-isolate and seek medical advice over the phone, the country’s chief medical officer has warned in updated advice.

People who have returned from countries including mainland China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and are experiencing a cough, shortness of breath or fever are being advised to stay indoors and contact NHS 111.

The Government advice says: “The UK Chief Medical Officers are advising anyone who has travelled to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau in the last 14 days and is experiencing cough or fever or shortness of breath, to stay indoors and call NHS 111, even if symptoms are mild.

“These countries have been identified because of the volume of air travel from affected areas, understanding of other travel routes and number of reported cases. This list will be kept under review.”

Is Thailand immigration helping to spread diseases?

We’ve just been through immigration (exiting Thailand) and had to have our four fingers scanned by immigration. One after another we all had to go through the process. I questioned the officer about cleaning the glass and he just laughed. Be aware of this when travelling. Buy a travel pack of sanitizer gel and use it for safety.”

You can use baht everywhere in Laos

Well just to clarify. I pay full tax in Denmark and have more than 100.000 baht every month after tax.

i am not living here permanently just 2-3 months at a time to visit my gf. She visits me the same way in Denmark for christmas and summerholiday.

last year it was enough to send them my tax records online to embassy, pay a fee and everything were ok but now....

i have taken my descision. I am going back to Denmark and I bring my gf with me. 

Just for the record. Tuesday we are going to Bangkok to have all her documents translated to english, wednesday we are going to the Department of Foreign affairs to have the translations stamped and finally thursday we are going to Royal Danish embassy to have the stamps stamped ! Makes me sick when I am used to take care of everything online in Denmark.

thanks for all your kind replies
