webfact Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 By Paphamon Arayasukawat BANGKOK (NNT) - The Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) announced on Wednesday that Bangkok has five new COVID-19 clusters, raising the total to 34. CCSA assistant spokeswoman Apisamai Srirangsan said the new clusters were at Bang Kapi market, a construction workers’ camp in Bang Kholaem district, an ice factory in Chatuchak district, a construction workers’ camp of Italian-Thai Development in Don Muang district and a cargo warehouse in the Bang Sue district. She said there are concerns about construction workers’ camps, which exist in all 50 districts of the capital. Some districts have over 20 camps in each, including Bang Kapi, Bang Khen, Lat Phrao and Huai Khwang. Some camps house more than 1,000 workers. One camp, in Bang Kholaem, houses 1,374 workers. There are seven construction camps in the district. Dr. Apisamai said medical and other local officials are conducting mass testing and promoting hygienic practices in the camps. In some camps, workers share buckets and drinking vessels. In addition, transport to and from the camps, where there are infected workers, must be restricted, to prevent disease transmission. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-05-20 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are seven construction camps in the district. With an average, of say, 10 Camps per district, that is just about 500 Camps in total, with up to 1000 people in each. The numbers are getting toward 500,000 people in these Camps. Each and every one of them having to share Toilets, Showers, and whatever water is provided by their Bosses, as well as dirt floored Tin shacks to sleep in. I think there is every right to be worried about infections in these Camps, but little if anything will be done to make the conditions better. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalawaan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 BTW that foam mask she is wearing at the podium in the story, is next to useless. You can literally see though them the bubbles and holes are that big 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see these trucks pass by my place every day. Packed in like sardines they are. At least 40 people, shoulder-to-shoulder on the benches and front-to-back standing, with a few hanging off the back for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
