On Thursday (February 27), the Parliamentary Medical Services Office cleaned the area inside the council meeting room and the media workspace area on the first floor of Parliament Building, using antiseptic to wipe surfaces, tables, chairs, microphones, seats in the conference room as well as media desks and press chairs, press points, stairs and elevators, overseen by Satit Prasertsak, deputy secretary-general of the House of Representatives.
The move is seen as a precautionary step as Patcharin Khamsiripong, a Bangkok MP from Phalang Pracharath Party, who returned from Japan, was rumoured to be infected with Covid-19 even though she claimed she was healthy and had just caught a cold.
