The Public Health Ministry is considering taking legal action against a number of Covid-19 patients who refused to be transferred to field hospitals for treatment.
The move comes after 74 Covid-19 patients, mostly in Bangkok, opted to stay home. They told the ministry that staying at field hospitals would be inconvenient, deputy public health minister Sathit Pitutecha said.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Sathit said he felt angry when told this.
