Thai: 38 countries reportedly on short list for no-quarantine reopening -
theold - 17-10-2021
Government officials had suggested 5 countries on the shortlist and a handful of provinces that would be amongst those reopening, but now a list is being reported in Thai media of 38 possible countries deemed to have low Covid-19 risk, though
some are observing the list is based more on Thai economics than science and data.
The 5 previously named countries were the US, the UK, Germany, China, and Singapore, countries that historically brought a lot of tourism.
The other 9 named countries under consideration for entry on November 1 are India, Israel, Japan, Qatar, South Korea, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, UK and the US. (
Oddly, both China and Singapore that were previously named did not appear on this list.)
Thai news media suggested the list came after a CCSA meeting but did not confirm a source, and it is important to note this list is only a consideration with no countries yet being formally named as included in the reopening.
