Original title: Thailand’s first daily increase in confirmed cases exceeded 10,000, Bangkok vendors began to disinfect banknotes
On the 17th local time, the number of new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Thailand exceeded 10,000 for the first time, reaching 10,082. In Bangkok, the hardest-hit area of the epidemic, a plastic film was used as protection between street vendors and customers. When customers check out, vendors use clips to directly throw banknotes into a basin filled with disinfectant. After disinfection for a period of time, they are dried with towels to avoid direct contact with banknotes.
Prior to this, 10 provinces including Bangkok and surrounding Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Prakan, and Samut Sakhon provinces had upgraded their epidemic prevention measures and imposed a 14-day curfew. In the six days since Thailand’s epidemic control has been upgraded, the spread of the epidemic has not been effectively contained, and the number of daily confirmed cases and deaths have reached new highs. As of the 17th, Thailand has confirmed a total of 391989 cases and a total of 3226 deaths. (Headquarters reporter Chen Lincong)
