Must undergo a 14-day quarantine before they can continue with their holiday
According to the Associated Press (AP),the tourists from Shanghai had arrived under the country's Special Tourist Visa (STV) scheme at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
This means they must undergo 14 days of quarantine at designated locations such as a hotel or hospital, and test negative for the virus twice, before they are allowed to proceed to their holiday destinations.
In addition, they must also show proof of long-term accommodation, have special insurance policies, download the Thai app for Covid-19 contact tracing, and test negative for the virus prior to their departure for Thailand.
The tourists must also commit to a stay of at least 30 days in Thailand, which includes their time spent in quarantine, Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Suparsorn told Xinhua.
