No it doesn't.  This is a TVF perpetuated myth.  Long ago, yes, now, no.

So if I visit Thailand as a tourist, rent a condo for maybe 3 weeks and test positive on day 5 I will be allowed to self isolate in that rented condo? Really? Please enlighten me. I'm talking about tourist visitors, not expat residents
