Hi Caitlin Ashworth,
I had a question. My friend arrived from an African nation on 4th Jan (Bangkok) and is doing quarantine till 18th Jan. She has 3 doses of vaccination and 2 negative RTPCR test since arriving in the hotel. Does she need to quarantine for 14 days even after the rules have changed?
