Thailand uses hotels for COVID patients as cases surge
The Peninsula
BANGKOK: Thailand reported on Friday its fifth record daily tally of coronavirus cases this week, as authorities set up thousands of field hospitals to cope with an influx of patients and lined up hotels to provide extra beds for those without symptoms.
All positive cases have to be admitted into care under Thai rules, and with 10,461 patients being treated the medical sector could be put under additional strain. Authorities also announced the closure of massage parlours and schools starting on Sunday for at least two weeks to curb the outbreak.More Related News
