Monkey pox will be evaluated at airports

Monkey pox symptoms are comparable to smallpox symptoms, however they are usually milder and less contagious. On Friday, the World Health Organization gathered to discuss the problem, which has resulted in over 100 cases across Europe. Scientists, on the other hand, believe the pandemic will not spread over the globe. According to Supakij, three drugs used to treat smallpox are being investigated for effectiveness against monkey pox. In the 40 years since smallpox was declared eliminated in 1980, no immunizations against the disease have been offered. The inspection will focus on tourists from 17 different nations, according to Sathit Pitutecha. The DDC, on the other hand, claims that authorities will need to assess the hazards. 130 tourists from at-risk nations arrived lately, according to Thassayu Dechachote, the head of disease management at Phuket Airport, but no cases of monkey pox have been documented.

Thailand’s tourism officials hope to achieve a 50% hotel occupancy rate this year

Thailand’s tourist industry officials have set a goal of 50 percent hotel accommodation this year in order to resuscitate the industry following the June 1 relaxation of restrictions. To employ more people and accelerate economic growth, it must return to 50 percent. As per Yuthasak, if rising tourists are focused, the standard expenditure should be around 62,580 baht, which is equivalent to the 60,000 baht expended during Phuket’s sandbox renewal program and the 77,000 baht expended in the first part of this year. Hotel occupancy fell to 29 percent in 2020, then to 14 percent in 2021, according to Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of Thailand’s Tourism Authority.

Indian tourists are the largest tourist group on the island province, according to Phuket International Airport Immigration, now that Thailand Pass has withdrawn its much-despised ‘Test & Go’ scheme.

Thailand’s Covid-19 limitations will change on June 1st

A lot of Covid-19 restrictions in Thailand will be lifted beginning of next month, while certain regulations will differ by location. There are now 46 yellow provinces, 17 blue provinces, and 14 green provinces in the country. In the green and blue provinces, nightlife is being restored, with alcohol sales allowing until midnight. However, liquor advertisements and the sharing of beverages are prohibited, and bartenders and other nightlife employees should use face masks. On the other hand, Thailand’s immigration restrictions have been eased even further, with the Thailand Pass for returning Thais being abolished as of June 1. For international immigrants, though, the much-criticized procedure remains in place. It’s not only a matter of operating for bars and nightclubs in the green and blue zones. Business owners must first obtain clearance from the provincial communicable disease committee. Employees must be screened for Covid-19 signs and must have an antigen test…
