What happens if a person who recently recovered from Covid tests positive after entering Thailand via Sandbox?
👋 If someone recently recovered from Covid, enters Thailand via Sandbox (with a negative PCR), and then one of their two PCRs in Thailand turns positive (can happen for a few weeks), what happens? Would a "certificate of recovery" exempt the person from potential quarantine or hospital stay?
Anyone with experience?
Cheers 🙏

Thanks, I've seen that diagram, seems there's no special consideration for recentely recovered people. Was hoping for something else that addresses that situation, but seems there isn't. 🙏Niclas ***********

you should follow @Richard *********************
and yeah the official is as following.If that is what will happen is another question. Just follow people's report in available groups to determine.

thanks! Do you know of any official policy text on this situation somehwere? I could only find a policy saying recovered people can enter same as vaxxed people, but nothing that says that a positive test in Thailand would not result in isolation.

@Ahmed *********
depends on hotel province and whoever is on duty... Seems some have been able to handle and some have ended up in crap situations. If I was planning longer stay I would just go with it. Shorter if at risk I would not bother.James ********
@Ahmed *********
thank you. When did she recover from COVID ?Ahmed **********
OP@James *******
Thanks! Seems a positive result here will still land you in a messy situation, regardless of the certificate of recovery. You may find this post useful...

The odds of her are high to test positive IMHO. As Thai laboratory's appear to be more sensitive to picking up the residual COVID particles. When was she considered fully recovered from COVID ?
