Bangkok City Hall has opened two new field hospitals with a total of 500 beds for Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms.
Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt on Wednesday met non-governmental organisations such as the Zendai Foundation and Sai Mai Tong Rod group to improve guidelines on how to best manage the rising number of Covid-19 patients being treated by hospitals.
Mr Chadchart said the BMA's affiliated hospitals have about 760 beds allocated for moderate-to-severe Covid-19 cases. As of Wednesday, about 47% of their beds were occupied, including 17 severe cases.
