COVID-19 Update 2nd March
2nd March – Malaysia and Vietnam removed from high-risk countries, France and Germany added to high-risk countries.
Dear Parents,
The Office of the Private Education Commission has updated procedures relating to the prevention of COVID-19:
Two countries have been added to the quarantine list:
Germany and France – from 2nd March
If you or a member of your family has travelled from / transited through or been in close contact with someone who has travelled from / transited through these two countries from noon on Monday 2nd March, you are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine. Please contact the Primary or Secondary Office if your child(ren) will have to be quarantined.
As well, the following two countries have been removed from the list:
Malaysia and Vietnam
Students who have been quarantined due to Malaysia and Vietnam being on the high-risk list, can come back to school and are no longer subject to quarantine.
Please be cautious with upcoming travel to destinations outside Thailand to prevent being put into a quarantine situation, which would prevent your child(ren) from returning to school. The previous announcements regarding other countries and the 14-day self-quarantine are still applicable:
Iran and Italy – from 26th February
Today the Thai Government has added Iran and Italy to the list of high-risk countries. If you or a member of your family has travelled from / transited through or been in close contact with someone who has travelled from / transited through these two countries from noon on Wednesday 26th February, you are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine.
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Japan – from 21st February
The Thai Government listed travel from /transit through these countries in their initial announcement as requiring a 14-day self-quarantine. If you or a member of your family has travelled from / transited through or been in close contact with someone who has travelled from / transited through these countries since noon on Friday 21st February, you are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine.
The specific requirements of self-quarantine can be found in the FAQs here.
We will continue to update you as appropriate.
Best wishes,
Senior Leadership Team
