The police are urgently working together with the Ministry of Public Health [to take care of this matter],&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The immigration police and the ministry are also maximising Covid-19 control measures at the airports in the face of escalating health threats reportedly brought about by the new variant, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Security authorities are also heightening border security measures to curb illegal border crossing through natural trails in the border provinces, he said, adding a rising number of illegal migrants had been detained.<\/p>\n<p>From November 15 until last Saturday, a total of 333 people from eight southern African countries, currently banned by several countries from entering, have entered Thailand, said Dr Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).<\/p>\n<p>The countries are Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand has also imposed a similar travel ban on visitors from these countries, starting on Wednesday, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 333 people, three had already left Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>He said 23 of them had been contacted through mobile phone texting and requested to undergo an RT-PCR test for Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>The test is being offered for free at state-run hospitals, he said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about this specific Covid-19 testing requirement, the African visitors are encouraged to call the hotline 1442, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Those who refuse to comply with this requirement may face legal action for violating Thailand&#8217;s communicable disease control law, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Since November 15, Thailand has also begun imposing a 14-day Covid-19 quarantine on travellers from these eight African countries, he said.<\/p>\n<p>For Thai nationals who returned from any of these African nations from November 15 until last Saturday and could not afford the cost of the quarantine service at a hotel, they were allowed to undergo Covid-19 quarantine at the state-run Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute instead, he said.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 people who have previously arrived in Thailand from other countries also considered at-risk zones for the Omicron variant are also being required to undergo a repeat RT-PCR test.<\/p>\n<p>Citing updates reported at Wednesday&#8217;s meeting of the ministry&#8217;s emergency operations centre, he said most symptoms of infection from the Omicron variant remain similar to common symptoms of infection from the older variants including muscle pains.<\/p>\n<p>However, even though there still have not been any reports about severe illness linked to the Omicron variant infection, several deaths linked to this strain have already been recorded, he said.<br \/>\nAs for the expected faster transmission of the new variant, he said, there has yet to be any proof to confirm this speculation, he said.<\/p>\n<p>As for now, he said, being fully vaccinated against Covid-19 is still the best defence against catching the disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 783 African travellers who have entered Thailand since November 15, are being tracked down by Thailand&#8217;s Immigration Bureau and the Ministry of Public Health.
