Had to take family to hospital as we all got sick with sore throat and coughing and congestion. The hospital told us we had to buy covid and flu testing kits at pharmacy prior to seeing the doctor. All clear for that test. But a waste to spend 900 baht on the tests prior to even seeing the doctor.
I do not see why they demand we buy our own test kits at a pharmacy when the hospital could supply them at a cost to make profit from this as well.
At any rate, at least we know it is not the new covid spreading around. Will have to be careful now especially with schools opening next week. It may be prudent to purchase some new masks for the kids as the schools may begin to require them again if this outbreak gets worse.
