Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met with AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes, who suggested measures to improve the “Test & Go” scheme, specifically the removal of the second test requirement. PBS World



Thailand will consider a recommendation from an airline tycoon to reduce the steps required for international entry, by doing away the second COVID-19 test, currently required on the fifth day after arrival.

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met with AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes, who suggested measures to improve the "Test & Go" scheme, specifically the removal of the second test requirement.

Anutin said that he has asked the Department of  Disease Control (DDC) to consider the idea, as they are concerned with the safety of the people.

AirAsia also claimed that many tourists, such as those from Malaysia and Singapore, are interested in coming to Thailand, but are discouraged by the onerous procedures involved. Anutin admitted that they cause inconvenience for foreign travellers, but he thinks there should be a balance between reviving the economy and the safety of the people.

Regarding the increasing number of new COVID-19 infections, Anutin said that the careful management of hospital beds and medical supplies is necessary. He added that the ministry is focusing on home isolation, so there will still be enough beds for severe cases.

Anutin also mentioned that there will be a need to increase preventive measures, to reduce the number of new infections, such as speeding up vaccinations, particularly booster shots.

Meanwhile, DDC Director-General Dr. Opart Karnkawinpong said that the Thailand is still able to accommodate patients, whether it is the availability of hospital beds or medications. Although new infections are increasing, he said that the numbers of new fatalities and severe cases have decreased.

Provincial governors have been ordered by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to prepare contingency plans to cope with rising COVID-19 infections, as daily new infections are exceeding 18,000, Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said this morning (Friday).

He said the prime minister wants all governors to intensify publicity campaigns, through their networks of village heads and community leaders, urging people to comply strictly with basic safety measures. Those in border provinces have been instructed to look out for illegal migrant workers and to report "suspicious-looking strangers" in their communities to the authorities.

He also said that police and labour officials have been told to check factories in their localities, to make sure that they are not hiring illegal migrants, and to crack down hard on human trafficking gangs smuggling workers from neighbouring countries to work in Thailand.

Citing data from the COVID-19 Information Centre today, Thanakorn said that 18,066 new infections were reported nationally in the past 24 hours, including 17,898 locally-acquired cases and 168 among arrivals from abroad.

Cumulative infections since January 1st this year are 451,042, with 27 COVID-19 related fatalities. 12,511 people recovered today and 149,589 are still being treated.

In total, 121,035,637 vaccine doses have been administered in Thailand. 52.9 million of these were first doses, 49.3 million second doses, 17.3 million third doses and 1.4 million fourth doses.

Still Buggy Thailand Pass Being Fixed, Gov't IT Geniuses Promise

Persistent bugs in the Thailand Pass are being address, the government claimed, as delays in approving travelers' QR codes continue.

A train wreck since Day 1, Thailand Pass' website and back-end system still need improvement, even Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha complained.

A new entry pathway called Thailand Pass Hotel & Swap – not "Swab" as clickbait news plagiarizing websites continue to copy and paste –now has been approved and promises to cut the time travelers need to spend with Thailand Pass, the government's IT geniuses claimed.

Prayut ordered relevant agencies to mend outstanding issues with the Thailand Pass system and to continue making improvements.

The Digital Government Development Agency, the developer of the flawed system, is continuing to issue QR codes for Thailand Pass applicants within seven days. An aim is to make processes comply with Thailand Pass's Service Level Agreement.

The Tourism and Sports, and Foreign Affairs ministries now are adding the Thailand Pass Hotel subsystem to facilitate automatic approvals on the part of hotels.

Hotels in Thailand will be asked to join this system so they would receive emails when bookings are made. This new approach will benefit hotels as well as travelers, as both groups are users of the Thailand Pass system.

Servers are being added for this new approach and a live chat function is being added to resolve problems for Thailand Pass users.

The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration has approved an additional entry pathway for international travelers arriving in Thailand.

The Thailand Pass Hotel & Swap system (TPHS) needs just 10-15 minutes until it can issue applicants with a "pending approval" message. TPHS will receive data updates from the Thailand Pass system every hour.

The "Swap" in the name pertains to the ability of tourists to easily change hotels during their stay while still being tracked so they complete their second required RT-PCR test.
