Six places now "dangerous zones"

The government has defined four countries and two territories as dangerous zones and restrictions may follow to prevent the outbreak of coronavirus.

The announcement, dated Monday and published in the Royal Gazette on Thursday, classified South Korea, China, Macao, Hong Kong, Italy and Iran as "dangerous communicable disease areas".

The move came as the Thai postal service began disinfecting all packages received from overseas, although the World Health Organization has said it is safe to receive post from badly affected countries such as China.

No quarantine measure has been officially announced, but Public Health Ministry spokesman Rungrueng Kitphati told Reuters on Thursday it would come into effect on Friday.


"Thais and foreigners who came from these places would have to go through self-quarantine for 14 days at home or in a hotel room, where they have to report themselves to the authorities every day or officials will come to check on them," Dr Rungrueng said.

This means that all arrivals from these places, including those that transit through them, will have to provide the authorities with their addresses and travel plans and be self-quarantined for 14 days.

Those that breached the quarantine will face a 20,000-baht fine, Dr Rungrueng said.

Arrivals who display coronavirus symptoms will be sent directly to government hospitals.

The government has to date been reluctant to restrict travel for fear it would further affect the ailing tourism industry, which makes up almost 20% of gross domestic product. Ministers and high-ranking officials have given mixed signals on the issue and even contradicted one another at times.

As for thousands of Thais gradually returning home from South Korea, the government has prepared facilities for the 14-day quarantine for those from Gyeongsang province and the city of Daegu, currently epicentres of the virus outbreak, the government said.

The country has recorded a total of 47 coronavirus cases since January, with one fatality. Thirty-one of the coronavirus patients have recovered and returned home, while 15 are still being treated in hospitals.

Thailand has asked South Korea to keep Thai workers within the country for 14 days of health observation before allowing them to fly back to Thailand, said government spokeswoman Mrs. Narumon Pinyosinwat this morning (Friday).



This precautionary measure is one of the three proposed by Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai, during his recent call with his South Korean counterpart about cooperation over the handling of Thai workers in South Korea.

Other measures include tightening up of exit screening before boarding flights for Thailand and the provision of full information about returning Thai workers registered with South Korean immigration officials.



Mrs. Narumon said that the three measures were agreed by both sides, adding that South Korea has promised to take good care of Thai workers and provide them with free treatment if they are infected with COVID-19.

Preparations are in place to cope with the return of the workers from South Korea, whose numbers are expected to increase, she said, adding that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha understands public concerns over their return and that he is confident that all the precautionary measures are in place to cope with the situation.



According to the ministerial announcement from the Public Health Ministry, which was published in the Royal Gazette on Thursday, China, including Hong Kong and Macau, South Korea, Italy and Iran have been designated as Dangerous Infectious Disease Zones.

Airports of Thailand Company (AOT) managing director Nitinai Sirisamatthakarn said today that the company has recently installed infrared thermal scanners at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hat Yai airports and at Mae Fah Luang airport in Chiang Rai, as part of the escalated screening measures.



Exit screening has also been stepped up for all domestic and international flights, so passengers can rest assured that all on board have been screened, he said, adding that AOT has increased the cleansing frequency at the six main international airports.
