Australian government approach has stop all detected cluster. in NT as you know, borders were closed right away, life did not change at all here, covid 19 did not touch us, 173 cases all from oversea no community transmission. strategy does work. Personally i won t go back to Thailand if they don t have full control. as far as i see they are far away from 20 to 30 case a day. restrictions and all requirement will make it hard for tourist to get relaxing holidays, i don t believe there will be many candidats for this sort of holidays. i feel the Thai gov is rushing the re-opening. i get a bad feeling about this.
