TOURISTS BANNED IN FIRST WAVE OF TRAVEL BUBBLE
The 'travel bubble' scheme will open first to business groups and international-school teachers who can be easily tracked, not general tourists, said Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Friday (June 19).
He was speaking after meeting with Japanese ambassador Nashida Kazuya. Japan is among the countries deemed at low risk for Covid-19 contagion that are being considered for the 'travel bubbles'.
