Thiravat Hemachudha, head of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Disease Health Science Centre, on Friday threw his support behind the use of rapid test kits to screen people for Covid-19 infection.
His call for the use of rapid test kits came after a spike in Covid-19 transmissions brought on by illegal border crossings.
According to Dr Thiravat, rapid test kits, which detect antibodies and give a diagnosis with initial screening taking only 10-15 minutes, can fill the gap when screening large numbers of people for Covid-19.
