PHUKET: As the Phuket Check Point reopened on Saturday (Oct 16) to allow vaccinated people onto the island without COVID tests, food security efforts across the island continued.

 

For the first time in months the checkpoint saw long tailbacks as people drove onto the island. Officers at the checkpoint have yet to reveal how many people have come onto the island since the easing the provincial entry restrictions, but have already estimated that the number will spiral up to about 10,000 a day, after seeing just 1,000 a day under the previous restrictions.

 

In explaining the move to open the island to receiving vaccinated domestic arrivals without COVID tests, Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew said that the decision was made “as a consensus”.
