PHUKET: Amid growing confusion of the role the Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) recently set up in Phuket, local officials have explained that staff at the centres will be responsible for ensuring that new arrivals in their respective areas comply with COVID-19 requirements.

 

 

 

A notice explaining the role of the EOCs was released by the Phuket office of the Department of Public Relations (PR Phuket) late yesterday (Jan 11).

That's a bit OTT as we are being told that there are currently no cases of Covid-19 on Phuket...

As I understand it (read full article via the link, but not fully clear as always) Phuket intends to  enforce 15-day quarantaine and other measures for inter-provincial travel (applicable for arrivals  from 'red alert' Thai provinces).
