Anyone who comes into their country must go through a testing area wrt their health. They must wear masks for 2 weeks or face fines. If they show any signs of the disease, they are immediatly to leave the country. If they have any sort of unexplainable disease or whatever, they are too leave or become quarenteened.

They have re-opened some hospitals that they used during an outbreak of some other disease that I can't remember AND, they are thinking about re-opening the compounds that they used for those who were affected by lepar (sp).

Thailand is also requiring anyone who is showing signs of SARS or have come in contact with someone who is infected to quarenteen themselves in their home for 14 days.

Very, Very strict.

Anyway, I really don't know how I feel about quarenteening an entire country (was that your question? I just went off I think). I do think that all countries should do some pretty intense screenings of ALL who come through their customs to help reduce the spread of the disease. I also think that before they leave their country, they should go through it as well. I don't know how exactly they will implement it, but the "idea" sounds good.
