Alternative State Quarantine Hotels Are Safe

 

 

BANGKOK, Aug 8 (TNA) – All Alternative State Quarantine facilities are safe and meet disease control standards, according to the Public Health Ministry. 

 

Dr Thares Krasnairawiwong, director-general of the Health Service Support Department, said some people were concerned about safety at the hotels that functioned as Alternative State Quarantine facilities. 

 

He said that the Public Health Ministry chose the hotels that completely met its safety standards which covered their isolated air-conditioning, restricted access to elevators, security cameras and dedicated zones to perfectly separate quarantined people from general people. Besides, foods are delivered to the rooms of quarantined people to prevent impacts on general guests and local communities.

I still don't get if the only quarantine option is those hotels that we must pay starting from 36 000 Thb or there is an option for goverment group facilitiy for free or some cheaper sum

...and they are so cheap...cheap...cheap....

Because this is our last chance to cash in on tourism for this year!

Because the people owning the hotels probably have to give a kick-back to the people pushing for the paid hotel quarantine system.

With that being said, it's still cheaper than many similar schemes - look at Australia's pricing which starts from $3k AUD (~60k THB).

Yeah, this sounds as an answer.

However, it is a huge nonsense ...
