Hospital ambulances and vans operated by the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation have been running nearly around the clock transporting critically ill COVID-19 patients and those waiting for beds.

Nongprue Police Chief Pol. Col. Chitdecha Songhong and Pol. Lt. Col. Kengsart Nuanpong responded yesterday, August 2, to Winton Village on Nong Krabok Soi 10 where a 71-year-old woman gasping for breath had been waiting for a bed at Banglamung Hospital. One finally opened that day.

Banglamung District, including Pattaya, reported 314 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday as Chonburi hit another record with 1,359 infections.
