BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai street artist has been paying tribute to the fight against the coronavirus with murals depicting a winged-character dressed as a health worker looming over a spiky image of the virus restrained by a padlocked red cross.

The 37-year-old street artist who goes by the name 'Mue Bon', which translates as restless hands, says his murals also serve as a reminder that efforts against the virus are not over and everyone has a role.
