BANGKOK, Jan 14 (TNA) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration prepares 10,000 beds to cope with the outbreaks of COVID-19’s Omicron variant while strictly controlling the services of pubs and bars modified to operate as eateries for the time being.

 

BMA spokesman Pongsakorn Kwanmuang said the City Hall already had readied about 10,000 beds to treat COVID-19 cases as it daily logged about 970 new caseloads that accounted for 1-2% of about 4,000 people undergoing mass testing every day.

 

The infection rate was lower than 10-12% detected during the four previous waves of COVID-19, he said.

Strictly controlling the services of pubs/bars parading as eateries... yeah okay.

They are out of control and don't give a fig about precautions.
