Popular Post rooster59 Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 Quarantine could come down to TEN days but not seven, says top doc Image: Daily News A leading adviser to the Thai health ministry has suggested that Thailand could work towards cutting the coronavirus quarantine time to ten days but no less. Dr Thawee Chotphitayasunon's comments come just a day after tourism minister Pipat Ratchakitprkarn suggested quarantine for foreign tourists could be reduced to seven days by November. Pipat is not a doctor, notes Thaivisa. Dr Thawee said that some countries in Europe were contemplating a 10 day quarantine, a reduction from 14, based on evidence from ten months of studies of the pandemic. In Asia Thailand as well as Singapore and South Korea were considering this. He advised caution and further studies before making any decisions suggesting that the virus had a 7/8 day transmission average.

Popular Post cedel Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 5555 (HAHAHAHA) They are so funny..."Phût mak!!" They speak too much, with always new proposals or ideas ...but do NOTHING ! No quarantine but a test before and a test at arrival, eventually followed by a 3rd test after 1 weeK. That should be ENOUGH ! Otherwise, tourism will NEVER RESUME , never come back until easy and affordable conditions would be taken with NO QUARANTINE but eventually having to report on an application. This is a wise advise..... 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO has no standard with respect to duration of quarantine for travelers, saying only: "If Member States choose to implement quarantine measures for travelers on arrival at their destination, they should do so based on a risk assessment and consideration of local circumstances" (WHO. Considerations for quarantine of contacts of COVID-19 cases Interim guidance 19 August 2020) For contacts of known COVID cases they recommend 14 days. But as can be seen above they do not specifically recommend any quarantine period for travelers. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 In the cases of local transmission last month (which seem to have been carefully brushed under the carpet), the CCSA said at the time that they can't be genuine cases of local transmission and the patients must have caught the virus while overseas, in spite of being negative after the usual 14 day quarantine period, and so a longer quarantine period of 21 or even 28 days might be needed in future. Now the medics are saying that 14 days might be more than is needed. The chopping and changing and indecision by these medical professionals would shame some of the politicians! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post irishken Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 Ireland is already at 10 days Quarantine in your own home or the hotel you’ve booked into. If Thailand had something similar, I’d go back and stay in the wife’s house in Mukdahan and maybe even get a Covid test before travelling, but anything more than that is just to much hassle. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source worldometer. Just a reminder that "cases" are simply people testing positive for CV NOT necessarily sick people! The vast majority are asymptomatic. As such, the number of cases really doesn't matter - it's the number with symptoms and/or being treated that counts! This is something that the governments around the world all seem to want to ignore. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Germany, there is a mondatory quaratine at home, but only as long till you get a negative test result from a mandatory test, hence around 2 to 3 days, and this only when you arrive back from a country seen as a country of risk. No mandatory quarantine when arriving from other countries. 14 days quarantine only if tested positive. 5 hours ago, rooster59 said: ...based on evidence from ten months of studies of the pandemic.
