Another eight UK citizens, six Australians, five from the Philippines, two Americans and one each from New Zealand, Myanmar, Iceland and Spain are receiving inpatient care.
The hospital discharged two patients, and took in another two from Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital as the patients wanted to be closer to their relatives.

A relief flight took 131 passengers and 12 crew members to Singapore’s Changi Airport on Wednesday to continue their journeys or return home. – May 25, 2024
