The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has introduced new services in BMA-run hospitals to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang said the BMA was launching "The New Normal Health Service" to ease overcrowding in BMA-run hospitals, a factor that had led to the virus spreading among patients and health workers.
Four million out-patients and 100,000 in-patients use the BMA's hospitals each year.
Mr Aswin said the new normal services were telemedicine — to allow remote communication and diagnosis between doctors and patients — plus blood testing at home and delivering prescription medicines at drug stores near patients' homes or even with the help of postal couriers.
