As COVID-19 infections continue to rise steadily in Bangkok, as many as 200 rapid response mobile teams have been formed to conduct active screening of communities, in a bid to identify and separate asymptomatic carriers from others to contain the pandemic, according to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA).

 

2,399 new infections have been recorded in Bangkok in the past 24 hours, out of 8,656 cases nationwide. 80 more deaths were also reported.

 

CCSA Assistant Spokeswoman Dr. Apisamai Srirangsan said each mobile team comprises medical personnel, as well as district and security officials, and will be equipped with Rapid Antigen Test kits, medicines and educational pamphlets. Mobile labs will be deployed in case there are many people in a community in need of testing.
