Thailand will resume its 'Test & Go' quarantine waiver for vaccinated arrivals starting on Feb 1, Reuters quotes the country's coronavirus taskforce as saying.

All arrivals must take a Covid-19 test on arrival and five days later, spokesperson Taweesin Wisanuyothin said at briefing, during which additional “Sandbox” areas were announced, a similar scheme to revive its battered tourism sector, where visitors must stay for one week in a designated location.
