Jonathan Fairfield Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Scores of people queue for face masks at Villa Market Soi 11 Scores of people were seen queuing for face masks outside Villa Market on Sukhumvit Soi 11 in Bangkok on Monday. A long line of people snaked out of the supermarket and along the soi on Monday morning as people tried to protect themselves against the coronavirus, COVID-19. A spokesperson for Villa Market told Thaivisa: Villa Market are issuing masks everyday at a set time for 10 baht. But for the last 7 days, stores have been overwhelmed by people trying to purchase a mask, with even more people visiting stores in the last 48 hours. video-1584939474.mp4 Officials in Thailand have been scrambling to ensure enough supplies of face masks are available. Despite both public and private sector organisations distributing masks, and production being ramped up, there are increasingly reports of shortages nationwide. People have also been charged for hoarding large amounts of face masks. The news comes as Thailand on Monday announced 122 new cases of COVID-19 infections, bringing the total number of cases to 721. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-03-23 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hardly anyone wears masks in the UK unless they are working in the hospitals. In fact the only other mask wearers are tourists who are coming from the countries where wearing masks are pretty much de rigueur. Having said that we know that Thai's do like a face mask ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
