At least 42 provinces now have entry restrictions for travellers - Thai Visa



NNT file photo for reference only

 

As of Wednesday, at least 42 Thai provinces now have some form of entry restrictions for travellers from so-called high risk locations.

 

However, the restrictions vary quite drastically from province to province.

 

Lampang, Phichit and Ubon Ratchathani were the latest provinces to announce restrictions on arrivals.

 

Requirements for travellers from Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom and in some cases, Chiang Mai, range from being required to self quarantine for 14 days, take a rapid COVID-19 test or confirm whereabouts to local health officials.

 

Some provinces only require quarantine for people from certain districts in Bangkok, namely Bang Khae, Klong Toey and Wattana, as well as  Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan.

 

Whereas other provinces only require quarantine for those who visited high risk venues - mainly the Thonglor bars and nightclubs - which have been confirmed as the source of the major cluster discovered in the capital.

 

In many provinces, self quarantine is not required if a person takes a rapid COVID test and tests negative. 

 

If you do still plan to travel, the advice is to seek the latest information regarding your destination province before you begin your journey.

 

The situation is fluid and is ever changing, so try to get as up to date information as you can prior to your departure.

 

Provinces enforcing entry restrictions for travellers are:

 

North:

Chiang Mai, Kamphaeng Phet, Lampang, Lamphun, Nan, Phayao, Phetchabun, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Phrae, Tak, Uttaradit.

 

Northeast:

Amnat Charoen, Bueng Kan, Buri Ram, Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, Mahasarakham, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, Nakhon Ratchasima, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Nong Khai, Sakon Nakhon, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, Yasothon.

 

Central, East and West:

Chainat, Lopburi, Nakhon Sawan, Sa Kaeo, Saraburi, Sing Buri, Uthai Thani

 

South:

Chumphon, Narathiwat, Pattani, Phangnga, Ranong, Satun, Songkhla, Trang

 

Meanwhile, in Prachuap Khiri Khan, where on Tuesday the total number of cases surpassed 300, officials are only requesting quarantine from people who visited high risk venues. 

 

In Phuket, officials have said quarantine is not neededfor arrivals from high risk areas.

 

In Surat Thani, quarantine is not required but people entering the province need to scan in the 'Save Surat' QR code.

 



Govt not considering nationwide lockdown - provincial lockdown more likely - Thai Visa





Picture: Bangkok Biz News

 

There are no plans to implement a nationwide lockdown in order to tackle the latest wave of COVID-19 infections in Thailand, officials have said.

 

On Tuesday, Dr Opas Karnkawinpong head of Thailand's Department of Disease Control (DDC) said that there were no plans to enforce a nationwide lockdown.

 

However, further restrictions, including the lockdown of provinces with high numbers of confirmed cases is being considered by the government.

 

On Wednesday, National Security Council General Natthaphon Nakaphanich reiterated that the government has been discussing possibly imposing provincial lockdown measures, namely in Bangkok and the surrounding areas, Chiang Mai and Prachuap Khiri Khan.

 

According to Bangkok Biz News, officials are reluctant to impose a national lockdown in order to avert adversely affecting people in areas where the outbreak is not so severe.

Govt stockpiles drugs as private jabs loom - Bangkok Post

Govt stockpiles drugs as private jabs loom

Medicine for treating Covid-19 is being stockpiled with more being bought amid the third outbreak which has infected more than 4,000 people, said the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO).

The GPO has ordered the stockpiling of Favipiravir with the drug now reserved for treating Covid-19 sufferers and being distributed to medical facilities to ensure they receive a constant supply.

As of Monday, the GPO had 411,200 Favipiravir tablets in its stock with half a million more on order.

Meanwhile, privately-imported vaccines from three manufacturers may be made available sometime in the latter half of the year for around 2,000 baht a dose, according to Dr Aurchart Kanjanapitak, chairman of Ramkhamhaeng Hospital.

Dr Aurchart said yesterday that people outside the at-risk groups would probably be able to buy immunisation privately using one of three vaccines that have a chance of being made available domestically later this year.

Two are being produced by US-based Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Moderna, while the third is Russia's Sputnik V. The likely cost per shot would be around 2,000 baht, he said.

J&J has registered its single-dose Covid-19 vaccine with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) -- the first shipment is expected around October and will be sold to private hospitals. They would have to insure against any risks or side-effects associated with its administration, according to Dr Aurchart.

The GPO is also likely to import the Moderna vaccine, although the vaccine has not yet been registered with the FDA. If and when the registration is complete, it is expected to arrive in Thailand in August.

Also not registered is the Sputnik V formula and it remains unclear who will be its importer. Dr Aurchart said, however, it was possible the process of registration and importation could be expedited so its use could begin in early June.

Department of Disease Control director-general Opas Karnkawinpong yesterday insisted the national vaccination programme was progressing as planned with the latest batch of one million Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine doses having arrived last week.

The vaccine will undergo quality checks before being distributed to all 77 provinces. 

Covid-19 varning Bangsaen

What happens if you test positive for Covid-19 in Thailand? A quick general guide to the current process in Thailand - Pattaya News

What happens if you test positive for Covid-19 in Thailand? A quick general guide to the current process in Thailand

Wednesday, 14 April 2021, 0:40

Thailand-

As scenes of full field hospitals with dozens of cots flood TikTok and other social media and many news articles have come in on the Thai Government building more and more field hospitals, many people have asked what will happen if I test positive for Covid-19? Can I self-isolate at home if I have no symptoms? Do I get a private room? Will I get to choose my own hospital?

We wanted to take the time to answer these questions. Keep in mind, the Covid-19 situation in Thailand is changing rapidly, sometimes even within an hour, but this information was correct as of press time. This guide, by the way, is primarily aimed at FOREIGN nationals and not Thai nationals, although the process is similar. It's also important to note that this guide is a general guide but not all-encompassing.Some individual experiences may differ from the "general" process and policy described in the guide so don't be surprised that if you test positive your experience is slightly different.

First, you can see here on the Thai Government's plan on self-isolation. Hint: It isn't allowed-sort of. Keep reading. We also wrote an editorial on why it should be considered to happen that you can read here.

The following information is based on reports from both the Ministry of Public Health as well as public reports posted by people who have gone through the current process after testing positive for Covid-19.

There are generally a few ways one will go about getting a Covid-19 test. Currently, because of the recent outbreaks and tests going to those who are on timelines or contact traced, many hospitals are not giving tests to people with no symptoms and no history of being in contact or at a place with a Covid-19 positive test. Some provinces have even suggested that you self-quarantine if you have no symptoms but were at a place where a Covid-19 positive person went. (If you were a low-risk contact.)

If you are considered a high-risk contact or a close contact and are identified by a positive Covid-19 patient you will generally be called in for a test.  You will be asked to self-isolate before and after the test while waiting for results which can take usually a day although there have been mixed reports on how long it can take depending on backlog. Unfortunately, there have been reports of people, including those staying at condos, who have not self-isolated while waiting for results.

If you notice you went somewhere that appears on a timeline but are not contact traced or considered to be a low-risk contact, you can go in for a free Covid-19 test at wherever the local health department is conducting tests, including if you are a foreigner. (You can also choose not to go in, but are supposed to self-isolate and/or monitor your health for symptoms of Covid-19) These notices are posted on local health department pages, which are usually in Thai. We have been translating them to English but if you are outside of Chonburi province you may have to check with your local health department. You will also be asked to self-isolate while waiting for results. Finally, there is proactive testing which is when mobile Covid-19 vans visit places that are considered high-risk, like factories, migrant worker's camps, or entertainment districts, and set up to invite anyone who works or lives there for a free test. As before, you will be asked to self-isolate while waiting for results.

Once your test results come in you will get a phone call if you are positive. Negative people have reported they get a simple text message in some cases. At this point, generally speaking, an ambulance will pick you up to take you to a hospital for initial tests and to gather further information. We say generally because as this current round of infections increases in cases there are also reports of people being allowed to take their own transportation, although they are encouraged NOT to take public transportation.

You will then go through a health checkup with authorities and for foreigners will need to clarify your form of payment/insurance/etc. If you have a work permit and were working Thai Social Security will assist in covering any cost for Covid-19 treatment. (Note: It may not if you are a director of a company, you will need to check this). There have been mixed reports of foreigners having to pay for their treatment, but for the most part, reports say they have had to. Having Covid-19 insurance currently is VERY important. Migrant workers and Thai nationals get free treatment.

After this processing, you will be assigned a place to stay based on your condition if you show symptoms, your age, prior health conditions, and other factors. Importantly, going back to our self-isolation statements earlier, you cannot stay at home if mild or asymptomatic for your entire period of quarantine/monitoring, BUT,you might be told to go home and self-isolate, with medical checks from health volunteers who are also making sure you are not going anywhere, for up to several days until a bed or room becomes available for you in the area, depending on where you are. This depends a lot on your location and the severity of your condition. If you have the money or the right insurance, you may be able to choose your own hospital, however, due to the rising number of cases and full rooms due to the policy that everyone positive must get quarantined under medical attention, this isn't guaranteed.

Thailand authorities have said several times, including today, there are no plans to allow overall self-isolation or self-quarantine for mild or asymptomatic cases at this time, thus all the building of more field hospitals. They claim this is for the ability to better monitor patient's health during their stay as well as to enforce isolation.

So far, foreigners have GENERALLY been sent to either a hospital room or Hospitel (This is a quarantine hotel that is usually used to house people coming back from overseas but is being used for the recent infections as well.) These have private rooms and many have decent facilities. You will have daily basic medical tests depending on if you show symptoms or not. If you are asymptomatic you are given Vitamin C, according to multiple reports.

There is, however, a chance you could get sent to a field hospital, especially if money is tight(Note, if you have moderate symptoms or more you will go to a hospital, field hospitals are for mild or asymptomatic people, which according to the Ministry of Public Health is the majority of the current cases in Thailand.) These are the large dorm-style rooms with up to dozens of people on bunks. So far, it mostly appears to be Thai nationals and migrant workers sent to these places but it cannot be entirely ruled out that foreigners would not be sent there if private hospitals or hospitals had no beds or the foreign national had limited insurance or funds.

The conditions of field hospitals can vary widely, although most have wi-fi. Depending on a few different circumstances you could see yourself spending between 7-14 days in these hospitals, which also takes into account if you spent any time self-isolating at home waiting for a room. Many have limited bathrooms and will be shared with many other people.

You are suggested to bring toiletries, a power bar/surge protector, a pillow and blanket (and possibly even a mattress), snacks, sets of underwear (most hospitals are providing you with a hospital uniform), an eye mask to protect against bright lights on throughout various hours of the day, earplugs, and other personal items. Some field hospitals allow food delivery, but some do not and as staff needs to wear full personal protective equipment to enter the hospital wards they cannot get in easily whenever you want a pizza or a Pepsi, so bringing your own supplies would be a must. Portable hot pots are even allowed at some of the hospitals!  Laptops, etc, are allowed.

Some more information on the field hospitals, in Thai, can be found here. In Chonburi, there is a field hospital set up at the Sattahip Naval Base, although we also have many "Hospitels" due to the number of hotels in the area, so it is entirely possible one may never have to see a field hospital in the Pattaya area.

Finally, the best way to avoid potentially testing positive and having to go through this process would be to limit your contacts during the current period of time and follow Covid-19 health precautions according to Chonburi Public Health Officials.

This is all correct as of press time, but once again can change rapidly and is designed only as a general guide and not the definitive answer to everything involving testing for Covid-19 in Thailand.

Chonburi, Thailand-

The Chonburi Public Health Department stated this morning, April 14th, 2021, that the province, which includes Pattaya, had 99 new and confirmed cases of Covid-19 which is a roughly similar trend to the past several days.

The district list of cases is Mueang Chonburi at 41, Si Racha with 5, Banglamung, home of Pattaya, with 47, Phanat Nikhom with 1, Sattahip with 2, Ban Bueng with 1, and 2 from outside of Chonburi brought to the area for treatment.

The Chonburi Department of Public Health stated that the numbers were not showing drastic exponential increase and remained fairly steady due to aggressive community testing especially in Banglamung. Authorities continued to test aggressively at entertainment venues with staff throughout the Pattaya area. 

Local residents were asked to remain calm and follow Covid-19 precautions like wearing masks, avoiding crowds, staying home and working from home, and other measures. Timelines for the latest batch of cases should be released later today, Chonburi health authorities added.

General public can register for vaccinations starting May 1 - The Nation

General public can register for vaccinations starting May 1

The Public Health Ministry will start vaccinating the general public against Covid-19 around mid-May, when the first lot of the locally manufactured AstraZeneca vaccine will be ready, Public Health permanent secretary Dr Kiattiphum Wongrajit said.

"The government aims to have 50-60 per cent of the population vaccinated as soon as possible to effectively control the outbreak," he said.

"We will also expand the vaccination units by collaborating with the private sector, which will provide locations such as at shopping malls or other modern trade venues. This will maximise the number of people getting vaccinated per day from the current rate of 500 per day per hospital," Kiattiphum said.

Since February 28, Thailand has been vaccinating people in high risk groups – medical professionals and those who have close contact with patients.

According to statistics from the government's Covid-19 Information Centre, 578,532 doses of vaccine have been given to people in all 77 provinces from February 28 to April 12. Of these, 505,215 received their first jab while 73,317 received a second jab.

"There are four channels where people can register to get the vaccine: via the "Mor Phrom" (Doctors Ready) Line official account; the mobile Mor Phrom application that will be ready for download on May 1 initially on Android phones; at hospital via telephone, or by contacting public health volunteers nationwide," he added.

Those who have been vaccinated will receive both a paper and digital certificate (in the form of a QR code), which they can use to verify their vaccinations. The ministry expects vaccine passports for international travel to be ready in June, once the World Health Organisation finalises the all-important criteria.

Why is the government setting up all these new field hospitals? The Thaiger

Field hospitals being established in Covid hot zones around Thailand

Despite the confident posture and Songkran going ahead, amid restrictions, there is a lot of background activity which suggest the authorities are getting ready for a surge in new infections at the end of the Songkran break, officially this Thursday, but in reality, next Sunday at the end of the weekend when most people who travelled home will return for a resumption of work.

The Thai lunar new year celebrations – Songkran – are the largest mass movement of Thais each year, a source for a huge leap in road deaths and accidents. And, this year, a potential super-spreader event.

Quietly, at least 3,000 extra beds have been prepared in 10 field hospitals around Bangkok. The government has also confirmed that additional field hospitals are being set up in other potential 'hot zones', including Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chonburi and Hua Hin. Some of them were set up last year, and since closed, and now being prepared for new positive infections.

One Thai person who had been in one of the field hospitals put together a check-list of things to take IF you end up as an invited 'guest' HERE.

The CCSA say they are looking for additional beds in hotels and previous state quarantine facilities (where repatriating Thais were housed for their free quarantine) to be used if needed.

This year's Songkran had bad timing, coming just a week after a number of major clusters were identified around some of Bangkok's popular nightlife areas in 3 key inner city districts. Even before Songkran these isolated clusters had already spread into the provinces. In the weekend before Songkran the government had already listed 37 provinces which had instigated some form of paperwork or restrictions for people who had been in any of the 3 Bangkok districts.

The government also leapt on the source of the new outbreaks – bars, clubs and entertainment venues – and promptly shut them down for at least 2 weeks. At this stage it looks likely that that ban will be extended beyond the 2 weeks and, depending on the extent of new infections following the Songkran holiday, additional restrictions will also be added.

Even today the Civil Aviation Authority published a number of new in-flight restrictions for passengers – another blow to the hard-hit domestic aviation sector.



1000 Thai police officers have been QUARANTINED - Bangkok Jack / The Nation



National police chief Pol Gen Suwat Jangyodsuk inspects the guard of honour, at Royal Thai Police headquarters in Bangkok 

The new Covid-19 wave has infected 113 police officers, Pol Colonel Sirikul Kritphitthayaboon, deputy spokeswoman of the Royal Thai Police Headquarters, said on Sunday.

"Nationwide, 113 police officers have been hospitalised after contracting the virus. Bureaus that reported the most infections were: Metropolitan Police (52 officers), followed by Region 5 Provincial Police (20), Tourism Police (7) and Central Investigation (5)," she said.

"Also, 961 officers are in quarantine as they had close contacts with fellow officers who got infected.

"Three officers have been cured since the latest wave. They are from the Immigration Police Bureau," she added.

National Police chief Pol General Suwat Jangyodsuk has urged all officers to employ preventive measures against Covid-19, as well as exercise the highest caution when interacting with public from risky groups, especially during the Songkran holidays [April 10-15] when the number of road accidents often spike, Sirikul said.

"All units have been told to employ work-from-home approach where applicable to reduce the risk of the virus further spreading, provided public services were not affected," she added. – The Nation

TAT governor says no plans to change opening of Thailand on July 1st -Thai Visa





Yutthasak Suphasorn. TAT file photo

 

The governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand said there were currently no plans to change the country's strategy to open up to foreign tourism on July 1st.

 

This despite the devastating third wave of Covid-19 infections in the country that has seen numbers near 1000 daily in recent days.

 

Yutthasak Suphasorn told the Thai media that vaccination rollout in Phuket was was still key and he expects foreign tourists back in the third quarter. 

 

He admitted that only those on the special tourist visa (STV) and others who really needed to return to Thailand were in the country as yet. 

 

He finally admitted that few wanted to quarantine even for 7 days and that the situation was very quiet at the moment regarding foreign tourism.

 

He said there was no booking data and that tourists were waiting on Thai government and CCSA announcements later this month. 

 

As far as local tourists go he thought that figures would show a 20% cancellation of bookings at Songkran as a result of the latest wave.

 

People were deciding to travel to low risk areas or not at all, he said.

 

He plans to meet with the Tourism Ministry after Songkran to decide what to do next.

SAS vd Rickard Gustafson: Vaccinationerna helt avgörande för bokningarna

Antalet bokningar för framtida resor ökar för SAS, om än från låga nivåer. Det visar trafiksiffrorna för mars månad. – Utvecklingen i efterfrågan på flygresor är helt beroende av pågående vaccinationer och att reserestriktioner därmed kan lättas och koordineras mellan länder och regioner, säger flygbolagets vd Rickard Gustafson i ett pressmeddelande.

SAS såg ett ökande resande i mars månad men för chartersegmentet sjönk antalet passagerare med 97,6 procent i mars jämfört med motsvarande period i fjol. Omkring 1 000 personer åkte chartrat med bolaget under mars månad 2021.

Under mars flög 310 000 passagerare med SAS, en ökning med cirka 40 procent jämfört med februari, enligt ett pressmeddelande. Påskfirandet ses som en bidragande faktor till det ökade resandet.

– Antalet passagerare och framtida bokningar har ökat under månaden, om än från väldigt låga nivåer, säger SAS vd Rickard Gustafson.

Samtidigt ligger flygbolagets marssiffra nästan 70 procent lägre jämfört med samma månad föregående år, skriver bolaget.

Under mars lyckades SAS även säkra förmånliga finansieringsavtal för kommande leveranser av flygplan från Airbus, enligt Rickard Gustafson. Den nya flottan ska ha "betydligt lägre bränsleförbrukning och utsläpp".

What you must carry along for stay in a field hospital

National

Apr 12. 2021

By The Nation

Ratchasee Jitasa Facebook page on Sunday recommended 12 items people should take with them during treatment at a field hospital.

They are:

1. Power strip

2. Personal items, such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, towel and hairdryer.

3. Power bank

4. Wet tissue

5. Items to help relieve loneliness

6. Pillow, blanket and mattress

7. Eyeband

8. Food supplements, such as Vitamin C

9. Thermos bottle

10. Snacks

11. One set of clothes to be worn before returning home

12. Underwear for 14 days

The page also advised people to drive to the field hospital by themselves because it would take officials time to reach their homes.

"Staying at the field hospital is not scary as everyone thinks, but some facilities may not meet the people's demands," the page added.

K-Research slashes tourism revenue estimates for first half of 2021 by Bt130 billion - The Nation

K-Research slashes tourism revenue estimates for first half of 2021 by Bt130 billion

The latest wave of Covid-19 reported in Thailand since late March would affect people's travel plans during Songkran Festival and cost the tourism industry around Bt10 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2021, Kasikorn Research Centre (K-Research) said on Tuesday.

"During the third wave, there are a higher number of cluster cases found in Bangkok and the outbreak has spread to several provinces faster than the previous waves," said the centre. "This has resulted in many people cancelling their domestic trips during the Songkran holidays between April 10 to 18, affecting the projected revenue of the hospitality and guided tour industry, as well as other tourism-related businesses."

K-Research also slashed its estimate of total tourism revenue in the first half of the year by Bt130 billion -- to Bt137 billion -- after forecasting Bt267 billion in January, due to the second and third Covid-19 waves in late December and late March.

"The third wave could last longer than the previous ones due to the higher number of infections and the discovery that the mutated strain of the virus can spread faster," added the centre.

"Furthermore, the economic fallout will be more serious than the previous waves as the third wave has a central hotspot in Bangkok, the province with highest value of economic activities."

K-Research advised the government to accelerate vaccination to cover as many citizens as possible, as well as seek alternatives in vaccine procurement from other parties.

"Both the public and private sectors must continue to employ strict preventive measures against the virus to contain the outbreak as soon as possible in order to minimise the economic impact," K-Research said.

Semesterbokningarna till Thailand fler än på många år

Över ett år in i coronapandemin har vaccineringen kommit igång och många svenskar tycks nu längta efter - och planera för - sol, bad och varmare breddgrader. Det rapporterar DN, som har talat med bolagen Tui, Ving och Ticket, som alla vittnar om ett högtryck på solsemestrar, framförallt framåt sensommaren och hösten.

- Till början av säsongen är beläggningen fortsatt låg, det tror vi till stor del beror på osäkerhet huruvida man fått vaccin då eller inte, vi tror att många väntar in tydliga besked och bokar sista minuten istället, säger Adam Györki på Tui till tidningen.

Bland de bokade resorna inför sommaren dominerar Grekland, Cypern, de spanska semesteröarna och uppstickaren Kroatien.

I november och december har många bokat resor till Gran Canaria och Thailand, säger Adam Györki till DN. 

- Hösten bokar på som ett normalår, då räknar nog de flesta med att vara vaccinerade. Inför vintern ser vi ett anmärkningsvärt högt bokningstryck, till Thailandsresorna ser vi de högsta siffrorna på sju år.

Och inför vintern uppges Thailand, Miami, Mexiko och Dubai redan nu vara välbokade.

Trots strikta reserestriktioner och avrådan från icke nödvändiga resor utanför EU, EES, och Schengen ökade svenskarnas flygande också något i mars, visar statistik från SAS.
