PHUKET:-- People arriving in Phuket from other places in Thailand do not have to observe a 14-day self-quarantine after arriving on the island, Dr Thanit Sermkaew, chief of the Phuket Provincial Health Office (PPHO), has confirmed.

 

“No self-quarantine is required for any people regardless of which province they come from,” Dr Thanit told The Phuket News today (June 9).

 

Dr Thanit said that the need for people arriving from the eight “risk provinces” to observe a self-quarantine for 14 days was never accurate, and became understood by the public when it was reported “by other media”.

For weeks it was allover the media that people from 8 provinces MUST self - quarantaine for 14 days.

And now it was just a misunderstanding ? If so, why didn't anyone speak up when this false information was around ?

Does the airport know about this?
