Health officials in Prachuap Khiri Khan are considering to add more field hospitals throughout the province in readiness for the event of receiving more COVID-19 patients.

 

A meeting held at Prachuap Khiri Khan Provincial Public Health Office, presided over by Mr Prompiriya Kitnuson, Deputy Governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, discussed whether the province has enough beds if the amount of COVID-19 cases were to rise.

 

The province, including Hua Hin, has a total of 1,540 beds for COVID-19 patients in both hospitals and field hospitals. Currently, 972 beds are being used (as of the time of writing), with 568 beds remaining.

They just dump it on the beach and blame Malaysia and Indonesia. 

[Dont confuse me]

The 568 remaing beds will be occupied in a day.

Then what? Oh I know have a meeting to decide how many beds required and where to put them.

In the interim period they will be discussing how to make a few baht out of the exercise.
