PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has confirmed that people arriving in Phuket from COVID high-risk ‘red zone’ provinces do not face quarantine in Phuket, but must follow other disease control measures.

 

The confirmation came in an order issued by Governor Narong yesterday (Apr 8 ) that explained what is required of domestic arrivals in the province.

 

Arrivals from the red zone provinces ‒ Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan and Nakhon Pathom – must install the Mor Chana tracking app, self-monitor for any signs of infection, and provide their travel details to hotel staff who will report the information to the local Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), said the order.

"All arrivals are asked to follow the ‘D-M-H-T-T’ measures: D- Social Distancing, M- Mask wearing, H- Hand washing, T- Temperature checking, and T- Thai Chana scanning".

 

Well this approach worked really well at last weekend's parties at Cafe Del Mar didn't it?

They have no clue what to do, even a year later. Sad.

Phuket's plan to open up in July is about to go down the proverbial toilet in 2-3 weeks.

The  REAL question is not quarantine or disease control measures:

It's  how ignorant or greedy is this man?       ฿ ????,

Never a lesson learnt... best of luck.

I was planning a trip south, after hearing this I've opted out of Phuket.

Makes perfect sense... if you want to continue the spread.

Here’s a question, option, hypothesis for members. 
Say Thailand and the whole world drops all or most virus amelioration options. To allow travel, and economies to act as pre-Covid, even to ask for vaccine passports, inoculations, quarantines. Even then; and we are, in real time, seeing the failure of attempts to find a pathway for normalising economic activities while the world has as yet to pass the herd-immunity point. To simply wish  life things to be okay and allow travel and random mass human interaction would probably end up with hundreds of millions of people both infected and requiring intensive medical treatment a la the 1917 flu epidemic. Yes I understand we have vaccines now and far more understanding and capacity for treatment of viral infections given the solutions for treatment are very different to that worldwide virus as in 1917.

We would still arguable face millions of deaths worldwide if we were to simply let-go of attempts to restrict this virus as governments have done.

Is it acceptable to accept that Covid and its variants will kill

tens of millions and that we should, need, might consider accepting this death toll so the world can continue on its way?

I offer no solution I simply pose the  question. Re; opening to more international travel.
