UKJASE Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi Guys, after having covid, is it possible to get a recovery certificate from anywhere, even though my girlfriend and i did not go to seek any medical assistance? I would like one for travel, but we did not see a doctor, and all we have as proof is lots of dated photos of our positive rapid flow tests. I am guessing there may be some examination that could prove we are not lying about the recent recovery. Any ideas how we could get a certificate please guys, as i dont want to be stopped at the airport and put into quarantine upon arrival if it can be helped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The certificates are generally issued and used in conjunction with a positive PCR test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken5807 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 When I got mine the positive results had to come from an officially approved test centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it shield you from quarantine if you test positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wn78 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have the same concerns as the OP. If I test positive with mild symptoms, I do not plan to seek medical assistance and will self-isolate instead. As discussed in the recent topic (https://aseannow.com/topic/1252242-can-they-force-me-into-hospital-if-i-test-positive/) the rules are still murky on the forced hospitalization. If the doctor decides my symptoms warrant so, I risk being sent to a hospitel and charged 150K baht, or sent to a government field hospital if I refuse to pay. I want neither of that. So the problem with self-isolation is that if I end up being one of those people who continue testing positive for weeks or months after recovery, I will not be able to travel. I like the idea of keeping the photos and positive tests as a proof, but will that be enough to get me off the hook when I test positive? Can they force me to self-isolate if I test positive despite having the evidence of a previous infection?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that even a thing, positive visitors getting away with refusing to pay? Likely to cause strife later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a photo of a positive test, does this prove I've had covid? Or is it just some photo I downloaded from the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to cause strife later? Some getting away, some forced into a field hospital. I have no first hand experience myself, but the experiences reported in the hospitalization topic I referenced make me believe the rules are fuzzy and you can be forced depending on the location, doctor's position, etc. On 4/10/2022 at 11:25 AM, bbko said: Here's a photo of a positive test, does this prove I've had covid?

But as I was afraid, it clearly states: You have completed the government isolation period where you are (minimum of 10 days). Meaning, if you do not report your sickness to the government and just self-isolate yourself, you will not meet the requirements....?? because there is no proof you were actually sick.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can also do an antibody test which shows if you've had it previously. Putting 2 and 2 together (dangerous here I know) I would say that 10 days, or maybe less, after a positive antibody test she would issue a recovery certificate.
