Ohad Baruch, the Israeli tourist arrested in Thailand this week, will spend the coming Saturday in solitary confinement while under supervision - officials in the country said today (Friday). Before the local media, Baruch was put in solitary confinement in the country and was supposed to wait for the results of a PCR test - but left the hotel without waiting for the result and took a taxi to a resort town. At the same time, the hotel was informed that its test had turned out positive. This week he turned himself in to authorities on the island of Kosmoy.
The Israeli community in Kosumi says that Ohad is still on the island, and that he was transferred to the "Super Pro" compound, which was converted during the corona plague into an isolation compound for patients who have no symptoms. According to a community source, since he turned himself in he has already undergone two more tests that came out negative, but he is suspected as verified due to the first test in Bangkok which came out positive, and which propelled the hunt for him during the week until he turned himself in on Wednesday.
According to Israelis on the island, upon completion of the isolation and further examination, Baruch will be brought before a judge who will impose a high fine on him and refrain from imposing imprisonment on him, he may also be deported.
Baruch is currently in detention status, and is in solitary confinement.

In Thailand, whose revenues are based on inbound tourism, the outbreak of the epidemic is taken very seriously, especially when it comes to the Omicron variant, and there is a great fear of infections from tourists.
On Tuesday, the requirements from tourists seeking to enter the country were tightened again.
Under the new guidelines, a negative result must be presented in a PCR test conducted 72 hours before the flight, and another government test must be conducted upon landing.
After the test until a negative result is obtained, wait for self-isolation.
Tourists who have not been approved before the new restrictions are required for 10 days of isolation.
Immunized are required for seven days of isolation.
As a rule, the insulation is required to be carried out in a government facility, unless an isolation tourist has been approved in an alternative facility.
The island of Phuket has a number of additional aggravations: All tourists are required to be covered by health insurance that covers expenses related to corona disease and entry from some African countries is prohibited.
Also, some areas in Thailand are under closure, but as a whole the tourism and public transport businesses are operating, under restrictions of social remoteness.
