When to get a COVID test and what to do if you test positive

13 Sept 21:21 Key points summarised by AI

Identify high-risk scenarios for COVID-19 testing, including close contact with confirmed patients, exposure to bodily fluids, or prolonged unmasked interaction in enclosed spaces.
If at high risk, seek immediate lab testing, self-quarantine for 14 days, and be prepared for multiple tests, as an initial negative result does not guarantee safety.
Upon a positive COVID-19 test, promptly contact health hotlines (1330, 1668, 1669) with your national ID and test results, then isolate at home while awaiting hospital admission.

Bai Lu meet-and-greet cancelled days after China’s safety warning

Today 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
