He is the first tourist found with the virus since the province was reopened on July 1 under the Phuket Sandbox scheme, he said. The provincial health office reported that a sample swab was taken from the tourist on his arrival at Phuket international airport on Tuesday, before he went to his hotel. Between 10pm-11pm, the test result came out positive. Health officials immediately informed the manager of the hotel and took the tourist to a hospital for treatment. Other tourists in the same group had been placed in 14-day quarantine at a hotel provided by the province for observation and Covid-19 testing. From July 1-7 a total of 2,113 had arrived in Phuket under the Sandbox programme, the governor said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
