What is 'Organisational Quarantine'?

[thaiclan]

I just read in the BKK Post that the next group of foreigners visitors are now allowed into Thailand... including Elite Visa holders (which my husband is and is waiting to return from the UK).

In the article it doesn't say they need to use ASQ but rather 'Organisational Quarantine'. 

Maybe they can book their own hotels? Or use their homes?

Any ideas?......

I think it will be about the same as the ASQ. Not sure what they are saying now.

Just wait for some official notice instead of a news article.

It more aimed at foreign workers from Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar for food and construction industries

 

The companies demanding these workers would have to arrange for "organisational quarantine" at their own premises, where each room could accommodate more than one worker for cost effectiveness. Such quarantine facilities must meet disease control standards and be able to prevent migrant workers from  getting out during quarantine.

Conventional state quarantine, in which a room served only one person, would cost nearly B20,000 per person and that was not wanted by the companies, Dr Taweesin said yesterday.4https://www.thephuketnews.com/move-to-designate-phuket-hotels-as-alternative-local-state-quarantine-venues-underway-76770.php
