It is possible they allow you home isolation if you have a place to stay. Pal is here on tourist visa and is upcountry. After a clear chest x-ray and no symptoms he was allowed home isolation - proviso you must have somewhere to stay though.

No, you cannot home isolate anymore.Greg ********

Absolutely wrong - plain and simple. I am chatting to a pal on messenger right now who is doing it now. Chest X-Ray clear yesterday and sent home with Favipravir and other meds. Do you want him to come on here and confirm you are mistaken? Came in 10th from Singapore on a clear test, first test negative in Test and Go. Second test 16th and positive.

It was a rhetorical question. I would not be too quick to call people liars. Bangkok Community Help are also helping people isolate at home. Look at their posts or are you calling them liars too?Garrett ***********
