A corruption watchdog has called on state agencies to investigate politicians who became infected with Covid-19 after attending bars in the Thong Lor area which is the epicentre of the new surge of infections.
Mana Nimitmongkol, secretary-general of the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT), wrote on Facebook yesterday that corruption and law-breaking were associated with the latest wave of Covid-19 linked to pubs in Thong Lor in Bangkok. This was also the case with the previous round of infections linked with illegal gambling dens and illegal migrants, he said.
