The army Thursday morning began spraying roads in Bangkok with disinfectant to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
Army units will carry out the daily cleaning from 1am to 5am until the end of the month. The cleaning operation uses water mixed with disinfectant.
Trucks sprayed the disinfectant-water solution on roads which pass through crowded areas of the capital, operating in the early hours to avoid causing traffic congestion.
The cleaning focuses on roads around trading zones, transport stations, ports, education facilities, outdoor activity areas and public gathering points.
