March 30, 18:43, support movement including providing food to unemployed people in Bangkok, Thailand
In Thailand's capital, Bangkok, support movements are spreading, such as providing food to poor people who have been unemployed due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
In Thailand, the spread of the new coronavirus has spread rapidly since last week, with 1524 cases confirmed by the 30th, and the Thai government has declared an emergency.
From the 22nd of this month to the end of next month, except for shops that sell food and other essential items for everyday life, store operations are banned, and some people lose their jobs.
Since there are many poor people among the unemployed, the chain of chicken rice in Bangkok has been giving away a set of around 70 yen in Japanese yen to these people since last week.
A 63-year-old man who said he could no longer sell clothing at the market said, "I have little money and I have to resort to these shops."
Support has also been gaining momentum at Buddhist temples in Bangkok, with some providing food to unemployed people.
In Thailand, in addition to the closure of stores, the strengthening of waterfront measures has seriously affected the tourism industry, which is a major industry.
