BANGKOK (TNA) - The Corrections Department sealed off all areas in the Bangkok Remand Prison and applied video conferences for detention procedures.

 

Ayut Sinthopphan, director-general of the Corrections Department, said the measure was implemented as 2,833 inmates at the Bangkok Remand Prison and the Women Central Correctional Institution were infected with COVID-19.

 

Infected inmates were admitted to treatment supervised by Ratchavithi Hospital. A field hospital was set up in the compound of Klong Prem Central Prison to admit them.

as a prison should be

[cmarshall]

Unless "sealed off" means that staff and officers cannot go home at night, then it isn't sealed off and the infection will spread.

 

The latest infection count is 4800 in  a day.  Looks like it's about to go exponential.

2,833 out of how many inmates?  Is it 1% or 100%?
