A cargo terminal, inside Don Mueang International Airport, is being converted into a huge field hospital with the capacity to accommodate 2,000 asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 cases beginning on July 12th.

 

Managing Director of Airports of Thailand Nitinai Sirismatthakarn said today (Tuesday) that the Ministry of Public Health, in cooperation with the Treasury Department and Mongkutwattana hospital, have agreed to use the 4th cargo terminal which covers up to 18,000 sqm as a field hospital.

 

Many cleaners were seen today sweeping the floor of the facility, after which power and lighting systems will be installed, to be followed by the installation of partitions and beds.
