Resumption of 'Test and Go' registrations, new COVID measures, to be decided by CCSA Thursday | Thai PBS World

Resumption of 'Test and Go' registrations, new COVID measures, to be decided by CCSA Thursday
views  1,214

The resumption of new "Test and Go" registrations, COVID-19 rezoning and yet another extension of Thailand's nationwide State of Emergency, in place since March 2020, will be proposed to and decided by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) tomorrow (Thursday).

New applications for "Test and Go" program, which requires only minimal quarantine of no more than one night while awaiting negative COVID-19 results, have been suspended since December 22nd, to curb the spread of the Omicron variant. Currently, people who have been granted a "Thailand Pass" QR code for the program can still enter the country. The program resumption may begin on February 1st but possibly with stricter measures.

Secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC) and head of the CCSA's Operations Centre Gen Supot Malaniyom said today (Wednesday) that the easing of restrictions on "Test and Go" travellers is intended to help boost the struggling, but vital tourism sector, which, in pre-COVID times, contributed to up to 20% of the country's GDP.

He said more easing of restrictions will also be tabled to the CCSA. For instance, 13 areas will be declared "sandbox" zones, including five tourism pilot provinces.

He said that reopening of bars, pubs or karaoke bars will not be discussed at the meeting tomorrow, because they are still regarded as being at high risk for spreading COVID-19.

As for the emergency decree, the NSC chief insisted that the measure is still necessary and it may be extended for another two months. It is scheduled to expire at the end of this month.

Regarding complaints by some parents regarding the mandatory wearing of face masks and antigen tests by students, saying they should be voluntary, Gen. Supot said the issue rests with the Education Ministry as to whether it will propose an easing of the measures.

Test & Go for overseas arrivals to be restored, fine-tuned. The Test & Go programme will be reintroduced soon while entry rules under the scheme will be tweaked to allow close monitoring of overseas arrivals' health, said Gen Supoj Malaniyom, head of operations at the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).

The Test & Go programme will be reintroduced soon while entry rules under the scheme will be tweaked to allow close monitoring of overseas arrivals' health, said Gen Supoj Malaniyom, head of operations at the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).

Gen Supoj, also secretary-general of the National Security Council, added that Test & Go rules need to be tightened. The CCSA is looking into ways to monitor the health of overseas arrivals during the first seven days of entry.

It appears that under the tightening of the programme, arrivals will undergo two RT-PCR tests during their initial seven days, the first upon arrival and the second on the fifth or sixth day.

Before the programme was suspended earlier this month due to the emergence of the Omicron variant, overseas visitors only had to spend one night at a hotel. If their Covid-19 test was negative, they were free to leave their accommodation and enjoy their holidays. Gen Supoj said the CCSA on Wednesday assessed the pandemic situation in the kingdom and found that daily caseloads, which had shot up previously, were now stabilising.

The centre is considering adjusting areas with varying degrees of Covid-19 prevalence and easing some restrictions to allow greater mobility. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has insisted measures should be modified where necessary to help revive the economy.

Also on Wednesday, the Public Health Ministry suggested that overseas visitors take out comprehensive health insurance that covers all Covid-19 treatment cases. Dr Kiattiphum Wongrajit, the public health permanent secretary, said visitors must ensure they are fully covered for all types of Covid-19 treatments.

Partial insurance coverage leaves the government to pick up the rest of the bill. So far, 100 million baht of state funds have been disbursed. "We will no longer subsidise. The visitors must buy insurance that covers all treatments or purchase additional health insurance when they arrive here," Dr Kiattiphum said. "The measure will take effect when Test & Go is reintroduced."
