Though its name suggests it has closer links with communities upcountry, the Rural Doctors Society (RDS) is now a hero to Bangkokians after it stepped up to battle the raging outbreak in the capital.

 

Since mid-July, RDS teams have launched three missions in Bangkok to provide residents, especially the vulnerable, quick access to COVID-19 tests, drugs for those who test positive, and knowledge on how to protect themselves.

 

As of August 17, Thailand’s COVID-19 caseload stood at 948,422 infections and 7,973 deaths. The capital has been in the Dark Red zone of high infections for several weeks.
