BBC News published this video item, entitled “Thailand to reopen for some vaccinated visitors – BBC News” – below is their description.
Thailand plans to end Covid quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers from at least 10 nations – including the US, the UK, China and Germany – from 1 November.
PM Prayuth Chan-ocha admitted that the decision “comes with some risk” – but it is seen as a key step to revive the country’s tourism sector.
Mr Prayuth said Thailand would also allow entertainment venues to reopen on 1 December and permit alcohol sales.
The country has fully vaccinated around 33% of its almost 70 million people. Half the population has received one dose.
