Many “green” COVID-19 cases, or those who are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, in Bangkok’s 43 community isolation facilities have returned home after recovering and being cleared of the virus, according to Bangkok City Hall, as Thailand’s daily infection and death rates remain very high.

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is planning to set up 60 community isolation facilities, which are designed to separate the infected from their homes and communities, amid an acute hospital bed shortage nationally, and to give them basic medical treatment. If their symptoms become more severe, they can be sent to hospitals quickly, according to BMA Permanent Secretary Silapasuay Raweesangsoon.

 

For example, the community isolation centre in Bang Khae district, which has 150 beds, accepted 399 patients between July 6th and 31st. 84 were sent to hospitals and 171 have returned home. Currently, 144 cases are still in the facility.

#1 I could only imagine how awful it'd be to spend a fortnight sharing a room with farting, snoring, gambling Somchais. ????

#2 What's the use of the fans? To blow the virus all around?

#3 If you were in there, you'd need a laptop or phone, and how can you guarantee its security when taking a shower or a poo?

#4 On the subject of bathrooms, how on earth can they organise this, while keeping things virus-clean? For example, you could be on your 14th and final day and use the bathroom just after someone on his first day. ????
