As home and community isolation take on added significance as COVID-19 infections keep rising, with Bangkok and some other provinces experiencing severe hospital bed shortages, there is a new term to add to the list, “school isolation”.

 

Earlier this month, a large COVID-19 cluster was found in a boarding school, in Phra Bat sub-district, in Muang district of the northern province of Lampang, a week after it reopened. Classes managed to continue, however, after it transformed the campus using the “school isolation” model.

 

Chit Aree Welfare School, where over 100 infections were found among almost 1,000 students, most of whom are boarding, has been re-organised into a field hospital, with doctors and medical personnel on site.
