The daily cleaning will be done across all 50 districts in Bangkok. The focus will be on main roads, trading areas, transportation hubs, and meeting points prone to large crowds.
A chemical solution that is a mix of water and disinfectant will be sprayed all around the areas at night before people start their daily livs come daytime.
The wee hours of 19th March 2020 saw the first round of disinfecting by the teams. The soldiers on duty donned protection suits and travelled around the city with trucks containing the chemical solution.
