If the CCSA and the government agree, the shorter quarantine policy is likely to commence almost right away next month. There must be a mobile app or system in place to let health officials trace where tourists go and locate them if infections do occur. Local health officials have tested over 4,000 villagers. Apparently, local officials and villagers know what to do. Otherwise, Thailand will not be able to step out from its cocoon and we will end up as prisoners of our own success, with low infection rates, but a completely battered economy.
