On July 1st, Thailand launched a program called the "Phuket Sandbox" in order to bring tourism back to the popular island. According to a Foreign Ministry announcement, the program allows for vaccinated adults to visit along with unvaccinated children under the age of 18.
According to the Thai Foreign Ministry's announcement, visitors to the island must still wear masks and uphold social distancing. They also must undergo three COVID tests, which must be ordered in advance.
The Thai Health Ministry announced that anyone who tests positive, even if they do not have symptoms of the virus, will be transferred to a hospital, at their own expense, unless they have proper travel health insurance. According to the ministry, this will apply even for visitors who come with their families or as part of a group.
The Israeli foreign ministry requests that these requirements be taken into account before deciding to travel to the island.
