An 82-year-old bed-ridden COVID-19 patient died at home after a hospital refused to dispatch an ambulance, instructing her family to transport her themselves despite their lack of a car.
The patient, who had underlying health conditions, contracted asymptomatic COVID-19 and was later provided Molnupiravir medication by the non-profit Zendai Foundation, which also reported other home isolation fatalities.
The Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) assured the public of ample supplies of Favipiravir and Molnupiravir, distributing them daily to hospitals amidst concerns about potential shortages.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
