Quarantine Period Remains at 14 Days

 

 

BANGKOK, Nov 10 (TNA) – Thailand’s mandatory quarantine period remains at 14 days, affirmed Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

 

Speaking about the case of the Hungarian foreign minister, who tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival in Bangkok, Anutin said it is expectable and the ministry has effective screening system. It is likely that he had contracted the disease in the origin country.

 

Even though passengers are required to undergo Covid19 testing and travel with Fit to Fly certificates, many test positive for the virus during the quarantine. The ministry will maintain the quarantine period at 14 days to allay concerns among the public, he added.

While it isn't going to help getting tourists back in, it is at least keeping Covid out, so can't argue too much.

Those on the floor financially and being kicked out of their homes due to no tourism income might disagree of course. That could of course be dealt with, but a submarine or three, among other largesse is more important apparently.

it is amazing; number one hypocrite, anutin, wearing a mask !

Why don't they just shut up and leave things as they are, nothing can be done unless they want to do more harm than good, the cat is out of the bag and they can thank their Chinese mates for it, vaccines on the way, mass vaccinations will follow and them they can open up again, simple really, if the country survives, so will others, of it sinks, so will others.

And a very pristine one at that.  Only put on for the photo op!

That has not been scrunched up in our back pocket/purse/handbag like the rest of us mere mortals have ours!

This was never going to change, I like how Anutin was made to eat his own words here and announce it himself

 

Perhaps he will learn to keep his mouth firmly shut in the future until he has the approval of his bosses before speaking about major policy changes over which he has no control or authority to change ????

Make it one month and quarantine yourself please, it's enough. Why media not wearing a masks i wonder?

Last week they were floating the idea of cutting it down to ten days? Before that they were floating the Phuket model and before that they were floating bubbles. 

March 2021.  Hopefully

In other words, pay no attention to the science, just pander to the ignorant public.  Isn't that America's approach to the virus, too?

I arrive tomorrow to do my quarantine, I am happy either way all worth it to see my son again.

First pic I’ve seen of A nut in wearing a mask in a long time.

Get those -70°C freezers ready for Pfizer's vaccine.  Ooops.  Takes 28 days to take effect.

 

You can't expect the average gap year alcoholic to plan that far in advance.

 

Nevermind. ????

The inaccuracy and sensationalism of these articles sometimes. Hardly anyone has tested positive in quarantine. 99.9% of people test negative in quarantine, scaremongering at its best.

Thailand hasn’t ordered any of the Pfizer vaccine which is not suitable for tropical third world countries anyway as it has to be stored in freezers. I doubt they have ordered any of the others either, as they are relying on the Chula vaccine which may or may not work (their Ebola vaccine didn’t). 
 

I can see Thailand being way behind other countries with vaccinations with all kinds of excuses offered by this guy.

Almost daily they report of positive tests in quarantine?

 

You can announce and recall it bi-weekly, but please tell us what it really is in the near future - summer 2025 or so. Thanks.

Is that correct?  Many test positive for the virus during the quarantine. ???

If so, can somebody shed some light on this.

Questions:

1 - How many have tested positive during quarantine?  1%, 2%, 5%?

2 - How many have been hospitalized as a result of such positive test?

3 - What is the 'hospitalization' procedure (which hospital, length of stay, etc.) after having been tested positive?

4 - Are hospitalization costs covered by the mandatory covid-19 insurance?  No, not a 'stupid question' - it is unclear whether a 'precautionary' hospitalization would be covered under some policy conditions, also the PacificCross policies only take effect after having been 15 days in Thailand...

Until you leave the country again to attend a funeral and want to return...

These clowns would'nt know if you were up them, even if you tapped them on the shoulder...changes by the day

Still getting it wrong, it's 14 nights, i.e 16 days in effect, but of course you start you sentence on day zero, their rules!

Maybe spend 30 seconds on Google before making incorrect statements:

 

Today (12 October 2020), the Thai Ministry of Public Health, AstraZeneca, Siam Bioscience and SCG announced their intent to manufacture the University of Oxford’s potential COVID-19 vaccine in Thailand. If the vaccine is successful, Thailand will receive doses with the aim of commencing the vaccination of the Thai population in the first half of 2021.

They want to wait for China lol. WHY are these public servants working. There filthy rich. They are there to make sure farangs aren't welcomed. Need a monitored election. COVID is no exuse there's rapid resting now and even the soi dog has learned distancing. Game over.

Goodbye tourism industry in Thailand.
