Ranong: Southern province steps up its anti Covid-19 measures - any tourists must have health certificates and quarantine at their own expense

 

Picture: The Standard

 

The Standard reported that the governor of Ranong province in the south of Thailand was stepping up restrictions from tomorrow, April 1st. 

 

Jatuphot Piyamputra had previously required visitors from Bangkok and surrounding provinces to quarantine themselves for 14 days.

 

Anyone leaving the province and returning had to do likewise. 

 

This has now been ramped up. 

 

ANY people from outside the province must present a health certificate (of less than three days prior) to enter Ranong.

 

Tourists must present a health certificate AND quarantine themselves for 14 days at their own expense. 

 

Thaivisa notes that prior to last week, many foreigners were trying to renew visas by crossing over to Myanmar immigration in Ranong. This is clearly now out of the question as people must go into quarantine in the province. 

 

The governor further announced that from April 1st all migrant workers must wear face masks supplied by employers when outside. Failure to do so would mean that work permits for migrants would not be renewed.

why the stupid need for health certificates? Just lock everything down already. If getting a certificate is like getting a license i dont see it as beneficial. Its really just creating more human interaction.

A health certificate is like a Thai guarantee it is valid untill you leave the shop, or in this case, the doctors.

Anything can happen in 72 hours.

72 hours? A timespan closer to Thunderbirds I'm sure; 'Anything can happen in the next half hour'.

It is not for us to criticize these "highly intelligent" governors who with the help of experts invent new rules ...

       As I recall even immigration were regarding health certificates as worthless in the case of many arrivals at some airports.
