Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA), said medical and wellness tourists would be welcomed from this month onward. "After completing required quarantine, tours can be arranged for them to visit anywhere in Thailand," Dr Taweesilp told the media in a press briefing yesterday. This is intended to attract wealthy tourists to help boost the economy through the medical and wellness programme, Dr Taweesilp said. They would have to arrive by air to ensure effective disease control, Dr Taweesilp said. Dr Taweesilp said these 1,700 foreign medical and wellness tourists are mandated to complete a 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Thailand.
