Visitors to Phuket using water transport face strict Covid screening


BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The Marine Department launched measures in Phuket on Sunday (June 27) to screen travellers arriving and departing by water transport in a bid to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The move came after the Cabinet on Tuesday approved the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA)'s proposal to reopen Phuket on July 1 and three islands in Surat Thani – Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao – on July 15.
