The UK government has warned: “There is an ongoing outbreak of coronavirus.
“The virus originated in Wuhan City, Hubei Province but cases have been confirmed in other parts of China and the region, including Thailand.
“You should comply with any additional screening measures put in place by the local authorities.”
The US government has not updated their travel advice with no current warnings regarding coronavirus from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Travel continues to remain uninterrupted in Thailand with flights and public transport running.

The virus, for which there is currently no vaccine, started in Wuhan in China which is now on lockdown.
