Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2022 There are some conditions. If you are young and healthy and have no symptoms then you can stay at home. For other conditions I recommend follow Richard Barrow on Twitter. He just published all the conditions. He is a great source because he makes sure he only publishes facts and he does it faster than anybody else. 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shdmn Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) The hospitals and hospitels (covid positive quarantine hotels) will be full if they insist on doing that to everyone who tests positive, so they won't have any choice but to tell people to quarantine at home or their booked hotel/condo etc. Edited January 14, 2022 by shdmn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swiss1960 Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2022 The Swiss Embassy sent out an email to its contacts, the following is a translation of the main points: 1. According to the Thai emergency decree, everybody who has a positive Covid test is required to inform the health authorities. Failure to do so can result in a fine up to 20K Baht. 2. People who are positive can be put in Quarantine in ASQ (alternative state quarantine) on their own cost. Refusal to go into quarantine can be punished with up to 2y in jail and 40K Baht fine. 3. People with severe symptoms will be sent to a Hospital. The Thai health authorities can decide whether to send the people into a field hospital or a "hospitel" (communal quarantine places). 4. People with no or light symptoms can be allowed to quarantine at home, only if - they are less than 65y old - they have no existing health problems that would put them on high risks - they have a place to stay that is suitable for quarantine 5. The Swiss Embassy is aware that some condo management companies have denied isolation in the condo block due to the risk for the other residents, in which case, the health authorities would then order the quarantine in a ASQ hotel, hospital or hospitel. 13 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had experience with their condo board denying someone the right to isolate in their unit if covid-positive with mild or no symptoms? So far my condo in Bangkok hasn't issued any directives. Personally, I would be ok with one of my neighbors self-isolating for 5 days, and I hope they would do the same for me.

Quarantine is needed if you stay home and quarantine its ok but tourists is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individuals' health since the days of Typhoid Mary has always been a public issue. Our vaccination status was linked to our travel rights and still is in many countries. TB is a notifiable disease as are some STIs in some countries. Disabilities including blindness are publicly recognised as preventing you from driving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your records and health details maybe private, in the context of this thread, Covid-19 and any other highly transmissible disease, if testing positive your health is of concern to those you may expose to the virus you are carrying. To suggest otherwise is either in a different context to this thread and refers to non-transmissible illnesses, or it suggests a degree of careless, selfishness and disregard for anyone around you. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
