Covid In Thailand: The country reported 7,526 cases of the coronavirus on Friday, the highest number since early November
Thailand will extend the suspension of its quarantine waiver programme and bring in new restrictions after a jump in new coronavirus cases linked to the Omicron variant, the government's COVID-19 taskforce said on Friday.
New applications for Thailand's "Test & Go" quarantine waiver scheme will not be approved until further notice to stem the increase of coronavirus infections, said Taweesin Visanuyothin, the spokesman of the COVID-19 taskforce.
But existing applicants can still enter Thailand without quarantine until January 15, he said.
"We can still make changes if the situation improves, but for now we have to learn more about Omicron," Taweesin said.
