Would You Mandatory Quarantine For Two Weeks To Enter A Country ? (cost, hotel)

[CNYC]

A few of us travelers were discussing the future of Intl Travel after the lockdown lifts. Someone I know is going to Thailand where they are wanting to impose a mandatory 2 week quarantine in a hotel before you are allowed to venture out into the populace.

How many of you would go for that at your expense ? I don't know many people with the time or money to do that but maybe I am underestimating people.

Would you succumb to these rules and still travel ?

[Ttark]

Nope. I'd cancel and go some other time in future when it's lifted. Life's too short.

[SunGrins]

Not worth it. Two weeks is a long time and a lot of money. Then you have two weeks when you get home.

I have less than 2 weeks of vacation to visit a country and be back at work. So 2 week quarantine is out for me. I won't travel till it is fully lifted.

[Milky Way Resident]

I definitely wouldn’t. I’d much rather wait for things to gradually return to normal.

[Crazy4Chickens]

Nope. I'd go elsewhere. A two week quarantine would eat up all of our vacation days and we would even get to see anything before we'd have to head home.

So, in other words, one would have to spend the entire two weeks in a hotel room? If that is the case, I would not be able to stand it. For me, time and money would not be a problem, but having to spend two weeks in a small room would be a problem.

[Teacher Terry]

No way as it would really increase the cost of the trip.

Only if I was spending several months or more there for some important purpose would I even consider it.

It's not just foreign countries - Alaska has a 14 day quarantine rule for anyone coming in from out of state. So I'd have to quarantine again coming home, too!

Hawaii also has a two week quarantine. Tourists have to stay in their room and have food delivered. There have been people arrested for breaking quarantine, some of them were sent back home.
