The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has launched three initiatives involving screening, vaccination, and food distribution points for homeless groups in the capital, in a bid to contain the Covid-19 outbreak In a post on social media on Sunday, BMA Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said: “There are more than 1,000 homeless people in Bangkok with high risk of virus infection. Therefore, the BMA is preparing to bring those people to Homeless Shelter, Protection Centre for the Destitute, and Mitmaitri Home. Homeless people have been refusing to enter these shelters, but as the virus is spreading among this group, the BMA has launched three initiatives to provide them with care.” https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40004413

Shifting the blame again. The opposition@MFPThailand accuses the govt of PM @prayutofficial, based on a leaked document, of drafting an amnesty bill to exempt officials (which could incl. the PM and PH Min Anutin) who decided on #Thailand’s much-criticized vaccination policy from of criminal prosecution. https://twitter.com/SaksithCNA/status/1424590115536441348 Anutin defends amnesty bill, says necessary to protect doctors from prosecution and allows them to make hard decisions. https://www.thaienquirer.com/31014/anutin-defends-amnesty-bill-says-necessary-to-protect-doctors/

Ever since the arrival of COVID-19 early last year, people have been taking precautions to protect themselves. Facemasks and alcohol sanitizing gel have become indispensable parts of our everyday lives.
