Public places in Bangkok to be cleaned more often
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has increased the frequency of cleaning of public places and facilities in a bid to contain the spread of Covid-19.
“BMA staff will clean roads, pavements, pedestrian flyovers, bus stops, passenger rest areas and contact surfaces at government offices in the provinces more frequently to ensure people’s safety,” said BMA permanent secretary Silapasuay Raweesangsoon.
“People using public facilities should adhere to the ‘D-M-H-T-T-A’ principles advised by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration, which are: distancing from others, wearing mask, washing hands, checking body temperature, testing for Covid-19, and using applications such as Thai Chana and Mor Chana,” she added.
Silapasuay added that the BMA would clean public toilets every hour at four locations -- Banglamphu, Dusittaram Temple, Daowadeung Temple and Bo Bae Market. “Cleaning staff were instructed to thoroughly clean all contact surfaces in the toilets including doorknobs, toilet seats, toilet flush handles, sinks and faucets,” she added. “We will also hold a ‘big cleaning day’ activity at public hospitals in the province to ensure the safety of people coming to receive medical treatment.”
