The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is setting up six pre-admission centres, with the first being at Wat Saphan in Klongtoey and the second at the health promotion centre in Petchkasem Soi 69, to accommodate asymptomatic cases and those with mild symptoms, while they are waiting for hospital beds.

 

Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang said today (Friday) that the centres will help ease congestion at general and field hospitals, as well as at “hospitels”, and solve the problem of many asymptomatic and mild symptomatic cases being stuck at home while they wait to be admitted to hospitals.

 

The main objective of the pre-admission centres, however, is to separate those tested positive for the virus from their families and communities, to reduce the spread of the disease, he said, adding that the centres, which follow the model of the one at Wat Saphan, are not much different from field hospitals, as there will be officials at the facilities to look after the patients around the clock.

And that is precisely why Thais will avoid testing

home isolation is exactly were they should be - not using up medical resources they don't need or want

Bangkok to set up 6 pre-admission centres for asymptomatic COVID-19 patients

You're not a patient if you are asymptomatic... No hospital or hospitel required.

Agree 100%.

 

In the real world if you test + you're sent home to isolate, get sent test kits and when one ( might be two to verify ) come back negative you're good to go.

Didn't they close pre-admission centres just last month?

That's exactly why everyone will be avoiding testing, myself included.
