Thailand launches a ‘yacht quarantine’ plan to boost tourism: Has already launched a "golf quarantine"

If spending your COVID-19 quarantine period on a yacht seems like an appealing option, Thailand is offering visitors the option. Those who choose to avail of the option must show proof of a negative PCR test and have their health and location monitored.

Following on from a pilot scheme originally announced in November, around 100 yachts are now expected to take part in the program, which is currently taking place in Phuket. Travelers are required to wear a smart wristband that monitors their location and vital signs, including temperature and blood pressure. The watch can transmit information at sea, within a 10km radius.
