The Asia Pacific region has seen increasing challenges through the first seven months of 2021, with situation varying greatly by country.

Southeast Asia has been mostly quiet, but there is hope in the Phuket Sandbox program, which allows vaccinated foreign tourists to enter the island without the same level of restrictions as those unvaccinated.
