"Some Thais are testing positive coming back home..."

This is a common sense "suggestion" that Thai's should be COVID TESTED negative within 72 hrs prior departure time, as the rest of us are required to have.

I find it very difficult to believe that some one has a COVID test 72 hours before a then flight arrives in the airport with the symptoms of COVID ?

Remember, you can't use the covid $100.000 insurance as it cannot be used for the first 14 days, which makes it practically useless as there is not supposed to be any covid in Thailand.

What a scam and a way to fill the pockets of insurance companies, and don't forget the unelected soldiers "government", their noses will also be in the trough.

Are these people immediately transferred to the ASQ-linked hospital? Or do they remain in the ASQ hotel? Is their quarantine period extended?
