PHUKET:-- Following a new missive from the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Disease Control (DDC) and the Ministry of Education issued yesterday (Feb 23), schools across Phuket have ramped up their self-quarantine requirements of all teachers, staff and students returning from recognised “outbreak areas” of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

 

All major international schools across Phuket have issued notices informing parents, teachers and students involved with their schools of the expanded requirements, which have seen South Korea, Singapore and Macau added to the list initially issued earlier this month.

 

"On Sunday, February 23 at approximately 4:30pm we received notice from the Thailand Department of Disease Control (DDC) that the country has implemented new 14-day self-quarantine measure for staff and students of educational institutions who have travelled to the following coronavirus affected countries since 8 February," explained Head of UWC Thailand Jason McBride in his notice.
