Today, August 10th, 2022, I received the following email from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office regarding Monkeypox:

Monkeypox

Travellers arriving from countries where monkeypox transmission has been recorded in the previous 21 days are asked to complete a health declaration form for contact tracing. If you are suspected of having monkeypox, you will be isolated in a hospital and prevented from travelling further until the results of a PCR test for monkeypox are known. This can mean at least 1 day of isolation.

  • if the result of your test is negative, you will be allowed to resume travelling;

  • if the result of your test is positive, you must continue your isolation in hospital, and be monitored by health officials. Patients will be discharged after an isolation of approximately 21 days or when they are no longer considered to be infectious.

During your stay in Thailand, if you develop symptoms of monkeypox, you can seek medical advice at nearby hospital facilities, or contact Thai Department of Disease Control’s national hotline for monkeypox 1422. Check your travel health insurance cover before you travel. More information about monkeypox can be found on the NaTHNaC website: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news/...nternationally
