Covid-19 patients who have undergone antigen tests while in community isolation venues can seek medical treatment under the kingdom s healthcare system without first having disease confirmation from RT-PCR testing.
The decision was made by the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to speed up the coronavirus treatment process for patients in community isolation waiting for medical care, said Apisamai Srirangson, assistant spokeswoman for the CCSA.
