Thailand's main Covid-19 task force approved a plan to end quarantine for vaccinated travellers from some countries starting next month in a bid to revive its struggling tourism sector ahead of the year-end holiday season.

Air travellers from the US, UK, China, Germany and Singapore will be exempted from quarantine on arrival starting Nov 1, Mr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, a spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said at a briefing on Thursday (Oct 14).

米国、英国、中国、ドイツ、シンガポールからの旅行者/観光客で、かつワクチン接種完了者で有れば　11月から検疫隔離なしで入国できるようになる。

免除対象国は追加される予定だが、日本が入るかどうかは記事では不明だ。

そのうち　マレーシアも　隣国のタイ国に倣って　ワクチン接種完了者であれば観光客の入国解禁及び検疫隔離免除　に踏み切るだろう、　と期待している。

(追記)

マレーシアでも　検討中　らしい。

Certain countries には　日本も含まれることになると良いのだが。。。

When asked, Muhyiddin said the border opening was being discussed at a working committee meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Friday.

''The opening will be for those who are fully vaccinated with a recognised digital vaccine certificate.

''Maybe we can have a pre-departure swab test requirement but we are looking at doing away with the mandatory quarantine, or imposing a shorter one.

''These are being discussed and will be decided on very soon,'' he said.
