Medical tourism plan to go aheadTaweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation AdministrationForeign medical tourists will still be allowed to enter Thailand as planned, but stricter disease control measures will be imposed upon them, a senior official said on Thursday. Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration(CCSA), said the kingdom's medical and wellness tourism programme is expected to restart at the end of this month at the earliest. Those seeking cosmetic surgery and infertility treatments will be allowed to enter the country, Dr Taweesilp said, adding those seeking Covid-19 treatment are barred. After treatment, the visitors will be placed under quarantine for 14 days at the government-sanctioned hospitals before they are discharged. "There are enough medical resources and personnel to handle 1,000 patients per day," he added.
