Thailand has suspended its “Test and Go” quarantine exemption scheme until at least Jan. 4 and reinstated mandatory quarantine for all travelers to curb the spread of the Omicron variant, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha announced on Tuesday.
The Test and Go scheme was launched on Nov. 1 to allow fully vaccinated travelers from 63 countries to enter Thailand without going through quarantine. Travelers would in turn be required to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus upon arrival.
