BANGKOK (Reuters) – At least 12 hospitals in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, have said they are suspending testing for COVID-19 amid a new spike in cases due to high demand and shortage of supplies.
The hospitals issued notices on their social media and on messaging apps. Bangkok is at the epicentre of a new outbreak that has seen new cases go from only a few dozen per day to several hundred per day, prompting the government to scramble to boost testing and trace new cases.
