“It is His Majesty King Rama X’s wish to have these children be students under royal patronage. They will receive the highest education free of charge, according to their capability. The ministry will be in charge to coordinate for the children’s scholarship, and provide foster family, if needed, with support money until graduation,” said Ratchada.

“Acting on the prime minister’s order to accelerate the number of isolation centres, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has set up the first community isolation centre for children 3-14 years old at the Sports and Recreation Centre in Dusit district, with medical personnel and caretakers to supervise closely 24 hours a day. The ministry and disabilities assoications in Thailand are also in the process of establishing community isolation centres for the intellectually disabled at Rajanukul Institute, and for the mobility impaired at The Asia-Pacific Development Centre on Disability office building,” she added.

“The ‘Care Centre for Children with Covid-19’ scheme was recently launched to look after children who are affected by the pandemic.

“Anyone who knows about orphans or vulnerable groups affected by the pandemic can contact these four organisations for help:
1. Social Assistance Centre hotline 1300
2. Pracharat hotline service for the disabled 1479
3. Social Development and Human Security provincial offices

16 of 18 Covid patients in home isolation have recovered

Of the 18 Covid-19 patients kept in “home isolation” lately, 16 have recovered but the condition of two has worsened, the Department of Medical Services said on Monday.

The department director-general, Dr Somsak Akkasilp, explained that home isolation was initially organised by Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok. The two patients whose condition had worsened were taken back to the hospital for treatment.

He said the practice of home isolation was tried on asymptomatic patients without underlying diseases, namely obesity, heart attack or chronic kidney disease. They must not be above 60 years of age, and must be living alone or with only one roommate.

Under the programme, hospitals will send medicines to isolated patients at their residences, depending on their condition. In case, they are healthy and have no chronic disease, the patients will receive medicine made from the herb Kariyat. However, those with controlled chronic disease will receive Favipiravir. Also, the patients will get three meals from the hospitals.

The department aimed to set up a community isolation for isolated patients in crowded communities.
