This is going to cause absolute mayhem at the departing airports when people cheching in are told they canot fly because they do not have a virus free medical certificate. Also the airlines are not going to be happy if they have to pick up the medical bills for any passenger found to have virus symptoms upon arrival.

With the already falling numbers of passengers travelling and the number of flight being reduced because of the virus, it is possible the airlines may stop flying into Thailand until the virus situation eventually returns to some degree of normality.
