Thousands Of Stranded Thai Citizens Are Brought Back to Thailand

 

The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration has announced that all Thai nationals, stranded will be brought back to Thailand. The government is prepared to welcome around 7,000 returnees who will arrive this month.

 Any Thai citizen abroad wishing to return must inform the Thai embassy in the country they are staying when they plan to return, so mandatory 14 day quarantine arrangements can be made.

 

 

• Those seeking to return must contact the nearest Thai embassies or consulates as soon as possible because the government needs to know the number of returnees and their date of arrival.
• Yesterday 161 Thais arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on a repatriation flight arranged by the Thai Consulate-General in Hong Kong, along with 131 other Thais from the Maldives.
• Taweesilp says 59 Thais from Myanmar, 110 from Germany and 122 from Pakistan are scheduled to arrive today, and another 150 each from South Korea and South Africa will arrive tomorrow.
• The government is currently organizing special flights to bring home Thai citizens stranded in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Japan, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Taiwan, India, and the US. Those flights will depart beginning tomorrow through Monday.
• The government has prepared 796 quarantine facilities nationwide with a total of nearly 21,000 beds.
