Problem

With the rising cases of COVID-19 in Thailand, hospitals in Bangkok are already at maximum capacity. One coping mechanism recently issued by the state is to implement the home isolation idea, whereby mildly symptomatic coronavirus cases patients are to self isolate to free up hospital beds for cases with more critical conditions. However, for a large majority of the population who live in densely crowded homes and communities, are not privileged with the access to self-isolating (living with 7 family members in a small 3-room house). The situation puts households and community members at risk of family transmission, contributing to the growing number of the nation’s infection rate.

Solution

To accelerate the setup and assist operations of these centers in Bangkok can reduce household transmission to help control the spread of COVID-19. Global Shapers Bangkok helped to fundraise and purchase essential equipment needed to open up more community isolation centers in the outskirts of Bangkok.

Goal

Moving forward, we hope to develop a network of Community Isolation Centers across different districts to learn real-time about their needs and able to supply timely and accurately. Nevertheless, at this point in time, the project was planned and executed as a quick response to help support local communities.
