Bangkok food court rearranges tables to reduce Covid-19 infection chances
A food court at Sinthorn Tower on Wireless Road, in Bangkok's Pathumwan district has redesigned seating arrangements to create more space between tables and chairs.
The new arrangement also allows only one person to sit at each table, with everyone facing the same direction.
A staff revealed that the move is designed to promote social distance in an attempt to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus (Covid-19).
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends maintaining at least one metre (3 feet) distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing, as the Covid-19 virus can be transmitted through liquid droplets from the nose or mouth.
Netizens applauded the food court’s effort on social media and suggested that other food courts and restaurants should apply the same measure in their establishments to ensure customers’ confidence to dine out.
