Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 A specialist in pulmonary disease at Thailand’s Vichaiyut Hospital, Dr. Manoon Leechawengwongs, has reiterated his recommendation that those infected with COVID-19, who have no or mild symptoms, isolate at home. In his Facebook post today (Tuesday) he said that he had received many calls from people infected with coronavirus but with mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, sore throat, low fever or slight cough, who want to be treated in a hospital because they don’t want to infect their family members, despite the fact that they have been fully inoculated. He said he advised them to take medication to address their symptoms, without the need to take Favipiravir, and that there is no need to be admitted to a hospital.

They do not hospitalise healthy foreigners who are asymptomatic - unless they are visitors staying in hotels. Tourists who booked holidays in private villas are allowed to quarantine in the villa. (Since November last year.) Foreigners with property (rented or 'owned') are also allowed to quarantine in their home. There is no automatic 'fleecing'. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was testes positive at hotel, they immediately offered me another hotel (hospitel). When I told them some symptoms, I was send to hospital with 140k bill, which my insurance covered only 50k (medical help, no hospital room). here is a testimony of forum member, who was conned by hospital to be transferred from hospitel. very few tourists are renting villas. The great majority on Phuket are sandbox hotels, those are from 450b for a double room Edited March 8, 2022 by internationalism 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no symptoms, how do you know if you need to isolate at home? after testing positive. Many have to do it - hospital workers, kids from kindergartens to universities, workplace - from offices to factories. Even domestic air unvaccinated travellers. Also they might still do contact tracing, I am not sure about it. So family members, friends can be told to come to hospital Edited March 9, 2022 by internationalism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthedarkside Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Several trolling posts and a reply have been removed. The point of staying home, if you have symptoms or have tested positive for COVID, is to avoid potentially spreading the virus to others around you, who may or may not be vaccinated, may or may not be at high risk. If you've been fully vaccinated and boosted, then there's less chance you'll come down with the virus in the first place and, if you do, likely less chance of spreading it to others. But less chance does not mean "no" chance, especially with Omicron and the latest BA2 version of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
