Tourists banned from first wave of ‘travel bubbles’, says Anutin

By The Nation The “travel bubble” scheme will open first to business groups and international-school teachers who can be easily tracked, not general tourists, said Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Friday (June 19). He was speaking after meeting with Japanese ambassador Nashida Kazuya.

The government Center for CVID-19 said there are about 20,000 foreign business men and women , Thai citizens with work-permits , and international students and teachers have registered to return to Thailand.

Meanwhile, the prime minister Anutin said he’s ready to be injected with a prototype vaccine for Covid-19 as part of medical trial.

What Is a Travel Bubble Anyway?

Travel bubbles, also called travel bridges or corona corridors, is the waiting period for a select group of travelers from different countries where the coronavirus has been contained. “In a ‘travel bubble’ a set of countries agree to open their borders to each other but keep borders to all other countries closed. This allows people (mostly political) to move freely within the bubble, but cannot enter from the outside. The idea is to allow people additional freedom without causing additional harm.—social bubbles, where people expand their quarantine zones to include more people they consider safe.
