Returning Thais sent to air force quarantine

Thais who returned from Indonesia on Thursday (April 2) were whisked straight into new quarantine facilities at the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF)’s flying school in Nakhon Pathom province, just north of Bangkok.

Fifty-five passengers from Garuda Indonesia flight GA868 were screened for Covid-19 at Suvarnabhumi Airport before arriving at the flying school guest house in Kamphaeng Saen district at 11pm. The group comprises 21 men and 34 women.
The flying school and Public Health Ministry are overseeing the quarantine facility to ensure its occupants are kept isolated and properly cared for.

Seventeen more Thais will be sent there on Friday (April 3) as a precaution, after they presented with fever at Suvarnabhumi’s International Communicable Diseases Control Checkpoint but tested negative for Covid-19.
