Bangkok, 10 March, 2020, at 13.00 Hrs. – Thai Airways International (THAI) has announced a new requirement for its passengers travelling from South Korea, China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and Italy to present a health certificate clarifying “no risk of COVID-19” prior to boarding pass issuance.
THAI’s passengers travelling from Seoul, Pusan, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Rome and Milan are required to complete the T8 form issued under Thailand’s Communicable Disease Act 2015 and present to the Disease Control Officers at the quarantine office in their destination airports in Thailand.
THAI’s measure is in accordance with the notification of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) on COVID-19 control measures, which was issued on 8 March, 2020. The CAAT’s guidelines are in line with the Royal Thai Government’s announcement on 5 March, 2020, regarding the territories outside the Kingdom of Thailand: South Korea, Italy, Iran and China (including Hong Kong and Macau) defined as Disease Infected Zones for COVID-19.
