webfact Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has notified all airlines about the Thai government’s travel restrictions, including the entry ban on travellers from eight African countries now facing, or at risk of facing, the spread of the new coronavirus variant, known as Omicron. The countries are Botswana, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Omicron infections have also been detected in Hong Kong, Israel, Belgium and, most recently, in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.

People have been traveling back and forward between Thailand and Europe for months. Not mass tourism but I know many who returned here and did the testing and quarantine some even went back and did double journeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will have the b#lls to extend this to European countries that admit to having the new variant... or will they conveniently turn a blind eye to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will be very selective in which countries to ban, S.Africa has been mentioned, but to do the same to European countries would seriously impact their opening strategy. They might turn a blind eye to those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Omicron, I think by January we might be already at Sigma or Tau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 For most people, just be glad that you are not in almost anywhere in Africa. We are all hoping that this new Omicron variant is not more deadly and that the vaccines are effective against it as well. Sorry Richard, I hope you do not go flippin potty, if that means crazy. 22 months is a long time apart, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had quite a time interval between Delta and Omicron without any mutations of concern, so why do you believe this... January being only 32 days away?
