Over 2,800 cases have been found in two prisons in Bangkok. FMTNews

Covid-infected prisoners sit inside a field hospital set up at Medical Correctional Institution in Bangkok on May 8.

Alarm bells sounded this week when an activist at the forefront of Thailand’s democracy movement announced she had tested positive for Covid-19 five days after she was released on bail from a Bangkok jail. The young student leader was detained on multiple royal defamation charges for his role in a protest movement last year that included calls to reform the once-unassailable monarchy.

“If the court does not allow an inquiry through video conferencing and does not grant bail, Mike will have to return to face a Covid-19 epidemic in prison,” Noraset said on Facebook.
