i can't imagine anyone is coming in with a plane full of negative and simply getting their money back....
Yes they are - minus the bank fee, transport fee, 1st PCV Test fee and the 1 (or 2) nights hotel fee (incl. expenses ie. food). Have you not been reading the dozens of reports of people getting their refunds, in most cases they are being refunded more than they expected.
All those passengers who test positive on arrival are reported by the MoH - there have been fuck all, and guess what, most of them have been on repatriation flights full of Cambodian Nationals who were not required to be tested prior to their flight.
There seems to be a growing backlog of tests after the 14 day self quarantine. About 40 tests in the morning, and 40 tests in the afternoon at Soviet Friendship Hospital. If you go and don't get a number from the guard and just go in the queue, you will wait all day for nothing. I have clients on their 4th day attempting to get a test there, so they can get cleared to get their money back (all 80 slots for the day filled in the first few minutes of opening). Angry, shouty foreigners of all kinds not being told they need a number after waiting all day for nothing.
Looks like practical hindrances have been introduced in the extortion scheme to avoid people being able to reclaim their money.
With 3000 passengers in 14 days, it is clear, they need a capacity of 200+ tests/day at the end of the 14 days lock-up period. Even junior would be able to explain that to me.
It more and more shows, the extortion scheme is concentrated around "collecting the money", vs, solving (a not so much of) a problem at all.......
