BANGKOK – Healthy travellers arriving in Thailand from Singapore need not self-quarantine, the Thai embassy in Singapore on Wednesday (March 4) has clarified, after health authorities in Bangkok had issued a self-quarantine advisory on people from countries deemed high risk for coronavirus infection.

A health official in Bangkok had said on Wednesday that those who arrive from coronavirus-hit places are advised to self-quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in the country.

Thai authorities also clarified that the self-quarantine advisory is not mandatory.

The Thai embassy in Singapore on Wednesday said the Thai government welcomes all nationalities to Thailand and that quarantine is not required if travellers are healthy.

“Arriving passenger from Singapore need not have to go for quarantine, if they are healthy, but do take note that they have to comply with the health screening procedure conducted by the Thai authorities upon arrival at the port of entry,” said an embassy statement.
