Thailand protesters clash with riot police over handling of Covid

Source: Reuters

More than a thousand Thai anti-government protesters clashed with police in Bangkok on Saturday as they rallied against the government’s failure to handle coronavirus outbreaks and its impact on the economy.

The protesters marched towards Government House, the office of the prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha, demanding the leader’s resignation.

Police sealed off a road near Victory Monument in the Thai capital using containers and fired teargas and rubber bullets to force protesters back.

Cuba and Vietnam are also experiencing similar severe increases.

We need vaxxes around the world before more variants develop.
