PHUKET: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Phuket Office has issued a reminder to any visitors under the Phuket Sandbox scheme to have the correct insurance policy in place which covers them in the event of a COVID-19 infection while on the island.

 

The TAT Phuket also stated it has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Office of Insurance Commission to ensure that tourists wishing to visit the island have the correct insurance cover in place before they are issued with a Certificate Of Entry (COE).

 

As part of a press conference broadcast live this morning (July 21), TAT Phuket Office Director Nanthasiri Ronnasiri raised the issue as it was confirmed a British tourist became the latest to test positive for COVID-19, taking the total to 19 thus far under the Sandbox scheme.

Come come now, the TAT has to say something to justify their big salaries and keep their jobs so they have to come out with useless announcements by stating the obvious such as this one...
