Boost virus case findingAs the country fights the coronavirus, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has expressed optimism in the pandemic situation, saying it will ease in four to six weeks, citing medical evidence. Earlier this week, Gen Prayut was frustrated with reports of infected people being left to die on the streets due to a lack of facilities to take them in. Take the active case-finding initiative -- a key measure in tackling the virus -- and isolation policy as examples. In Bangkok, active case finding does not exist -- not in reality. Without prompt isolation, it is impossible to contain the virus, as is the case right now.
