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.

Its an epic mess Mr Czar of your making absolutely nothing learnt in 18 months ????

No lesson learnt since the beginning... 

as a prison should be

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%?
