PHUKET: In a correction to what was reported erroneously yesterday (July 3), anyone entering Phuket via land must be able to produce either proof of vaccination or evidence of a negative COVID-19 test taken seven days previously.

 

This conflicts with the initial information provided by PR Phuket yesterday that stated proof of a negative COVID test need only be from 72 hours previous.

 

The Phuket News has discovered that the error was corrected on the PR Phuket Facebook page 24 hours later without any official mention or reference to the mistake, as seen in the screenshots provided.

Awfully long time between test and entry for that test to change the wrong way

Why is it 72 hours for international arrivals but 7 days for domestic? Is the Thai virus slower?
