TLDR : Answer Summary

The article discusses the Thai government's decision not to penalize Chinese passport holders from Wuhan who are stranded in Thailand due to quarantine restrictions and lack of flights. Commenters clarify that these individuals won't face overstay fines because they cannot leave Thailand due to the situation in Wuhan.

Garrett ***********

Wuhan has been locked down, no flights in or out because of the quarantine. Chinese passport holders who live in Wuhan (or any area that has been closed) and are stranded here will not be charged an overstay fine as a result.

It means you won't end up in a cell if you overstay because you refuse to fly to China or get sick on Thai soil
