Thailand reinstates hotel quarantine amid Omicron rise
One of the world’s favourite holiday destinations has reinstated mandatory quarantine for foreign visitors amid the rise of Omicron
Thailand has decided to immediately reimpose a mandatory quarantine for foreign visitors and suspend a “test-and-go” scheme for fully vaccinated arrivals as concerns grow over the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
The government stated that the decision was to be implemented immediately.
The decision is a blow to efforts to revive Thailand’s battered tourism sector ahead of the peak holiday season.
Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana also announced the suspension of “sandbox” programs. Those programmes previously allowed visitors to remain and move around specific locations, except for the resort island of Phuket.
The government added that the decision would be reviewed on January 4
Authorities revealed about 200,000 people who have registered for the “test-and-go” scheme, known as Thailand Pass, but have not yet entered Thailand will be allowed to come.
Those arrivals will be subject to a COVID test on arrival and a second test seven days later at the expense of the government.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
