Security guards at Government House were busy sterilising the main entrance on Wednesday (March 18), washing every surface with a water-alcohol solution.
Meanwhile the packs of facemasks the government has made available to the public were in hot demand at MCC Hall at the Mall Bangkapi department store, where concerned citizens had to wait in a queue.
The masks are on sale only this week, on Wednesday and Thursday, and only at 11am, 2pm and 5pm.
People can buy only one pack each.
