I had mine ask for this and insisted it was policy, which I responded according the embassies and there own Department of Disease Control this is not the case, I rebooked anyway but apparently there was some internal confusion about arrival vs departure wording. Earlier in the year some hotels were actually wanting pre arrival so I read the details on coming back.
so those 20 people who tested positive on arrival, if they each sat next to someone would be another 40 people who would have to quarantine, and if they also shared a taxi with 2 other people that would be another 40 people.
See why “well who cares you were on a plane with people” is such a terrible argument, as low as the odds are I’m going to do what’s reasonable to keep them as low as I can.
Imagine flying in thinking you’re gonna test and go and next thing you know your quarantined for 2 weeks because of someone you took a taxi ride with
one of us doesn’t understand except it’s not me, sure the risk is low but it’s going to happen to people and you have to be pretty obnoxious for this attitude.
It’s also effectively doubling your risk if you have to share a cab, at least on a plane you can try to not have anyone sitting on either side of you
Why are you even in this group? Clearly it’s not to be helpful or give good advice
I have a 60 TR and booked my onward a 1 way ticket for 89 days after my arrival to Kuala Lumpur for $70, which I should be able to cancel when I arrive
