This worst-case scenario is considered unlikely if people continue to cooperate by wearing masks, practising social distancing and washing their hands frequently, said the ministry. Director-general of the Department of Medical Services Somsak Akksilp said about 2,000 beds were available across the country for Covid-19 patients.
