Thailand.com reported that on November 14, Ms. Tresulli, deputy spokesperson of the Thai Prime Minister's Office, revealed that Thailand must find a balance between disease control and economic growth. Thailand has achieved remarkable results in the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic and has experience in epidemic prevention and control. Gradually opening up the country is one of the important ways to restore Thailand's economy. The Thai government will gradually open its national doors to welcome foreign tourists on the premise of ensuring the safety of the Thai people. The development of tourism is an important factor affecting Thailand's economic development. During the period when the vaccine has not been successfully developed, it is necessary to gradually establish people's awareness and understanding of the new lifestyle, so that people can realize the necessity of opening up the country to restore the economy and support relevant government measures and policies.
Regarding the proposal of the Ministry of Health to shorten the quarantine time for inbound foreign tourists to 10 days under the concept of "Safe opening the country and saving the Thai economy - Smart Living with COVID-19", Tresulli responded that it would need to submit it to the Epidemic Control Center before making discussions. In addition, Tresulli also said that according to data from the Ministry of Health, most infected people will be diagnosed within 10 days of the quarantine period, and asymptomatic infections will usually be diagnosed after 10 days. Therefore, 10 and 14 days of quarantine are equally risky.
