Luxury hotel in Thailand gives 140 rooms for coronavirus quarantine patients

A luxury hotel in Thailand has devoted all of their 140 rooms to be used for people under COVID-19 quarantine.

The Grand Bella Hotel in Pattaya on the country's eastern seaboard has worked with government to use their rooms as a field hospital for coronavirus isolation treatment for free.

The hotel manager Morrakot Kuldilok said that the deadly pandemic has decimated number of paying guests - a situation that they don't see improving for several months - so they wanted to do something useful with the building.

She said: "We wanted to serve public good amid the pandemic crisis like this.

We decided to grant one building for people under covid-19 quarantine.

We are giving all room services and charging no fees." The hotel will undergo checks and sanitisation before it is transformed into nursing wards.

The building will then be used for people under observation for suspected coronavirus.

Thailand currently has 1,978 cases of the coronavirus and 19 deaths, leading to travel bans, lockdowns and curfews across the country.

This footage was filmed on March 31.
