Home death sparks outcry over bed shortages.

The death of an 85-year-old while waiting at home to be admitted to hospital for Covid-19 treatment has sparked a public outcry over bed shortages for virus patients.

The woman, who died on Thursday, was among six elderly members of a family living in a shop house in Bang Kholaem district of Bangkok struck by the virus.

Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Friday said he was sorry for the death.

Although insisting the Public Health Ministry is trying its best in working to coordinate Covid-19 hospital admissions with available beds, Mr Anutin promised the ministry will work harder to find space for those in most need.
