ORIGINAL POSTER

If I arrive in Phuket sandbox and test positive. And I end up staying in my hotel and not going to hospital. Do I need to get a test after 7 days of isolation? And if I test positive again do I have to isolate again?

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you test positive while in the Phuket Sandbox, you may need to isolate. It's advised that you will likely be moved to a facility for treatment rather than staying at your SHA+ hotel. After a 7-day isolation, you should be tested again. If you test positive again, further isolation might be required.

This is looking a bit silly now since everyone who lives in Phuket seems to be getting infected.

If you test positive you will most likely be moved to a different facility as you will require ongoing treatment and monitoring and unless your SHA+ hotel can cater for this, you will find yourself sent to the so-called "covid jail"!
