At least 50 people in a Klong Toey community in central Bangkok have been confirmed as being infected with the Covid-19 virus.
Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang announced on his Facebook page that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and Institute for Urban Disease Control and Prevention had used an express analysis mobile unit to test 925 residents in the community on Tuesday.
The district office and Erawan Medical Centre have been ordered to take the infected to field hospitals as quickly as possible.
