As much as it hurts keep tourism out.... but repatriation I agree with.

[Bender Rodriguez]

at this pace, tourism will never return ... panic over that one DJ in prison...

[Xonax]

Didnt they have Covid Free certificates?

[Almer]

What was the status of the French man from the UK why was he in quarentine?

Everyone entering Thailand from abroad is quarantined for 14 days (longer if they test positive)

Not required of returning Thais

 

The Frenchman will have had one. But not unusual to test negative i nearl stages of COVID and then later positive.

Exactly ? I wonder all this people found positive in quarantine... how os it possible ? Thai's doesn't need a Covid Certigicate to board reimpatriation flights but foreigners has to have it ....

I doubt all these people actually have active Covid infections. More likely they are picking up antibodies, meaning they would have had it at some point, and were probably asymptomatic.

[mikosan]

A Frenchman from the UK.  I bet he's happy to be referred to like that?

 

I know, I know, before you say it, I appreciate he probably flew from the UK.  I'm only joshing.

 

Lighten up. 555.

Seems every day produces covid 19 positive returning individuals in Thai quarantine. Today is five and at least one a day is normal. I've lost count.

We're all allowed to guess whatever we like, but I for one would like some factual and professional information to go with these daily infections found in Thai quarantine. The numbers add up daily.

Why is no one questioning the elephant in the room instead of making hypothetical assumptions to feed their fear of the realisation that Thailand is full of C19 like all its neighbouring countries. Thailand was very late in closing its borders with China and it's close proximity to the epicenter. I would suggest that they are contracting Covid from within Thailand. What a shock a DJ had Covid and the only way he was picked up is he was tested result that was published.

Oh how accurately true you are 

[quadperfect]

The issue here is thailand is finding dead virus particles. Its not sick people spreading virus. The pcr tests are magnified a trillion times.

Its all a scam guys these cases showing positive . You can find virus on a papaya at a trilkion times magnification.

[sirocco]

Quite correct, QUADPARFAIT, you confirm the information, as of May 2020, of the President of TANZANIA, MAGUFULI John.
Covid 19 found on papayas and also on quail and goats.
When I buy quail eggs and papayas, I will test them first.
As for the goats, they do not run the streets. LOL
