191 emergency call centre to take calls from COVID-19 patients

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s 191 emergency call centre has started accepting calls from people infected with COVID-19 who need to be admitted to hospital, to ease the burden on the 1168, 1669 and 1330 hotline services of the Public Health Ministry.

 

Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk, the national police chief, told a news conference today (Wednesday) that the 191 call centre has 1,200 lines and is manned around the clock.

 

Each operator receiving the calls is equipped with a standard set of questions, formulated by the Disease Control Department, which the callers need to answer. The information will automatically be sent, via the Government Big Data Institute (GBDi) system, to 1668 or 1669 hotline service centres for processing.

So the problem just gets passed onto the very ones who are unable to deal with it in the first place.

wow a new magic number 

 

meanwhile because they have no transport because the people employed to transport the infected have themselves become infected and now they drafted in the Army as drivers who have not been vaccinated and will meet the same fate 

 

But hey all the people involved in tourism in Phuket have been vaccinated waiting for foreign tourists to arrive 

 

what a cluster -
