Thailand says airlines may face virus medical bills in new rules

BANGKOK (Bloomberg): Thailand’s aviation regulator says airlines should ask passengers coming from high-risk territories for health certificates to establish they are free of the new coronavirus.

Travellers who can’t provide documentation should be prevented from boarding flights to the Asian nation, according to a Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand notice posted Monday . Carriers are liable for treatment costs if they fly in people who become sick with Covid-19, the notice said.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand, a government agency, wrote on Facebook on Monday that travellers coming from the six regions"will undergo 14 days quarantine, ” adding more details will be announced shortly. The Facebook post follows a series of confusing flip-flops on the matter, which left it unclear whether self-quarantine for those coming from the danger zones is mandatory or only strongly recommended.
