The government will extend the requirement of medical certificates and health insurance to cover all visitors to the country regardless of nationalities to curb the spread of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Thursday.

Thailand reported 60 new coronavirus cases, the biggest daily jump in the number of cases so far to take its total infections to 272, the Public Health Ministry said on Thursday.

Travellers to Thailand have to now show authorities a health certificate, issued no more than 72 hours before travelling, confirming that they have been tested and are free from the virus. They must also present an insurance policy showing minimum coverage for coronavirus of not less than US$100,000.

This measure was previously a requirement for places the government classified as "disease infected zones" — China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Italy and Iran.

The government is campaigning for people to stay at home to help reduce the spread of Covid-19.

Government spokesperson Narumon Pinyosinwat said on Friday Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has asked for cooperation, especially from those living in Bangkok and adjacent provinces, to refrain from going out.

As for calls by some people for lockdowns, the spokesperson said measures must be prepared well before time, and those people who earn daily incomes must also be considered.

"The prime minister has asked people to stay home. In this period, we would like Thai people to stay at home. Before we make the order, we are now asking for cooperation. After this, the situation will be evaluated if we don't receive cooperation," she said adding that there are options to consider such as what times or how many hours people could be barred from going out.

The doctors said that, using mathematical model calculations, maintaining the current measures would see up to 351,948 Covid-19 patients in Thailand while more than 52,000 would be hospitalised with over 17,000 in intensive care and 7,000 deaths.

BANGKOK: Confusion over Thailand's new coronavirus curbs left travellers scrambling on Friday (Mar 20) as Thai citizens queued at embassies abroad to get special travel papers and foreigners faced the challenge of producing a negative test for the disease.
Testing kits are limited in most countries, especially to people who appear healthy - meaning the Thai rules amount to a de facto ban on all foreigners.

The Thai version of the CAAT order said foreign passengers needed a certificate showing "a test confirming they did not have the COVID-19" while the English version said the document need only say passengers “pose no risk of being infected”.
By Friday afternoon, both the aviation authority and the health ministry confirmed that a negative test was needed for foreign travellers.

Just seen CNA's in conversation with Thailand's Health Minister.  Omg, the minister is in self denial.. He boasted the numbers infected are low due to their measures.. When questioned that the numbers may be under reported,  he defended he was not accountable for the numbers cos the counting was not done by him!!! The doctors did the counting and Thailand is no.6 in providing health care services to its people.  WTH !! Hope the situation in Thailand will not escalate due to its incompetent government!

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has approved airlines' decisions to scale back flights or stop flying altogether due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but told carriers to compensate customers.

Chula Sukmanop, CAAT director-general, said the approval was given after the authority met Thai carriers on Tuesday, namely Thai Airways International (THAI), Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia, Thai AirAsia X, Thai Lion Air, Nok Air, Nok Scoot and Thai Vietjet Air.

The airlines said the outbreak was responsible for a steep plunge in passenger numbers nationwide. Mr Chula said the CAAT had predicted at the start that a pandemic would bring tremendous losses to the airline industry. Back then, the agency estimated that almost 10,000 flights around the country would be suspended, leaving a void of more than 3 million passengers in the first quarter.

Thailand has banned the entry of foreigners and the government may impose a 24-hour curfew as its next step to tackle the spread of Covid-19 under the Emergency Decree which goes into effect on Thursday.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha announced on Wednesday the country would be under a state of emergency as of Thursday until April 30, as Thailand reaches a turning point in its battle with Covid-19 transmissions.

The armed forces will set up checkpoints across the country under the Emergency Decree and 16 first-level instructions have been issued following the prime minister's national address. A curfew is not imposed at this level.


However, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, who oversees legal affairs, said a curfew might be imposed later if considered necessary.

"If a curfew is imposed, it will be without warning, so people will panic and buy up food and basic necessities," he said. He added that if the government does go ahead with imposing a curfew to curb the spread of Covid-19, the order will be different from previous curfews which were only imposed at night to maintain peace and order.

(柏林讯)泰国冠状病毒疫情蔓延之际,泰王哇集拉隆功却留在德国,德国传媒揭发他“包起”巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯山脉的四星级水疗酒店,让妃嫔等入住。

德国《图片报》等德媒报道,哇集拉隆功的侍从包括他20位妃嫔,获安排入住度假小镇加米施帕滕基兴的圣内比迟(Sonnenbichl)大酒店,但不知他本人有否入住,因据知他在施塔恩贝格湖附近另有乡村俱乐部。

巴伐利亚为抗疫,之前已下令所有酒店停业,地方议会却“特准”圣内比迟大酒店接待哇集拉隆功的侍从。地方当局称该酒店获豁免,是因为宾客多日来都是同一群人。

 

尽管该地区采取了多项防疫措施,例如宵禁,但仍有人发现哇集拉隆功和几名女子踏出酒店,在外面骑脚踏车。另有报道说,泰王用飞机把119名侍从送回曼谷,因为他怀疑这些人罹患冠病。

据悉,泰王的第四任妻子,王后素提达大部分时间都待在瑞士的豪华酒店。

Where is the king when the people needs him?

Wow! This is big. Phuket's governor has just issued an order to close the Phuket Province, prohibiting entry & exit by land & sea, except by air, starting from midnight tonight! The ban is expected to run for a month from 30 March-30 April to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The only exceptions by land are trucks transporting goods, emergency vehicles, and people on official duty. By sea, only freighters allowed to dock but crew must not go ashore. On page two of the Phuket lockdown order, there are some exemptions for people. But the only foreigners I see mentioned are diplomats and their families. And they need a health certificate.

BANGKOK — The government’s coronavirus pandemic response team on Thursday advised PM Prayut Chan-o-cha to impose a curfew over Bangkok just as new fatalities are reported, according to a source.
The government source said the proposal submitted by COVID-19 Center calls for a curfew from 10pm to 4am in a bid to stop people from moving about and gathering at night. The proposal came after health officials reported three new deaths related to the coronavirus.
A government spokesman also alluded to the possible curfew in today’s news conference when asked about further travel restrictions.
“Please keep your eyes on the television,” COVID-19 center spokesman Taweesin Visanuyothin said. “The Prime Minister will make announcements on this matter.”

He added, “The Prime Minister has already said that he would escalate his measures gradually from soft to harsh.”
