The Krathum Baen district hospital, in Thailand’s coastal province of Samut Sakhon, has postponed all non-urgent surgery and doctor appointments until further notice, after several medical personnel and patients were found to be infected by COVID-19.

 

According to the hospital, between 80 and 100 people, who arrived at the hospital for COVID-19 testing, have tested positive for the virus, putting a lot of pressure on the hospital’s capacity to accommodate them.

 

As a result, the hospital has decided to postpone all appointments for non-urgent cases, as well as appointments for non-urgent surgical procedures. The service for emergency cases, however, remains as normal.

A trend that we're now seeing nationwide... infections are much higher than the government are admitting to.
