Thailand plans to ease quarantine rules for tourists, says report

BANGKOK, March 7 (Bloomberg): Thailand plans to relax quarantine rules for foreign visitors from next month as part of a series of steps being considered to revive the nation’s tourism sector, the Bangkok Post reported.

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration is set to consider on Monday (March 8), a proposal that will allow foreign visitors to leave their hotel rooms after three days of a mandatory two-week quarantine, the newspaper reported. The so-called area hotel quarantine will still require tourists to confine themselves to the properties, it said.
