Traveling To Thailand During Covid
Things to KnowGolden rules to keep in mind when traveling to this destination. Rich with wildlife, stunning landscapes and beautiful underwater scenery, Thailand's national parks are another major draw to this incredible country. Thailand's iconic Maya Bay has reopened in 2022 with new rules in place for people who wish to visit the famous beach. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details. Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrests or terror attacks.
Travellers may be exposed during activities such as wading, swimming, bathing or washing clothes in freshwater streams, rivers or lakes. Schistosomiasis infection may cause no symptoms, but early symptoms can include a rash and itchy skin (‘swimmer’s itch’), fever, chills, cough, or muscle aches. If not treated, it can cause serious long term health problems such as intestinal or bladder disease.

Travellers with an absent or poorly functioning spleen should be dissuaded from travel to any area with risk of malaria. Where travel is essential, awareness, rigorous bite avoidance and antimalarials should be advised even for the low risk areas. For the areas regarded as ‘very low’ malaria risk, antimalarials would not be advised, but bite avoidance and awareness of risk would still apply. The final decision whether or not to advise antimalarials rests with the travel health advisor and the traveller after individual risk assessment. Travellers are at increased risk of infection when visiting rural areas. Short trips especially if only travelling to urban areas, are considered lower risk.
Chemoprophylaxis – Travellers should take antimalarials if appropriate for the area . No antimalarials are 100% effective but taking them in combination with mosquito bite avoidance measures will give substantial protection against malaria. Awareness of the risk – Risk depends on the specific location, season of travel, length of stay, activities and type of accommodation. Symptoms usually begin with a fever of 38°C (100°F) or more. Other symptoms may include feeling cold and shivery, headache, nausea, vomiting and aching muscles.
