PHUKET: There will be no Phuket lockdown, but stronger measures to control the spread of COVID-19 will be enforced, Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has announced.

 

The Governor made the announcement at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday (Apr 15), as the number of confirmed infections on the island rose to 142.

 

Governor Narong said that the Phuket Infectious Disease Control Committee had resolved to not implement a lockdown, but instead strictly raise the intensity of public health measures to counter the spread of COVID-19.

Any announcement yet on whether the planned July 1st opening is likely to go ahead? Any flight or hotel details?

Well, my brother in law works at Le Meridien Patong. Ahem, brace yourselves, today!

My understanding is there is no quarantine for people entering Phuket from outside the island/province. Is this currently correct as of Sunday 18 April?
