PHUKET: The Phuket Provincial Government will set up a “Covid Care Center” in each of Phuket’s three districts where people who have tested positive for COVID-19 only by a rapid antigen test but are showing no signs of infection will be required to stay.

 

Phuket Vice Governor Pichet Panapong announced the news at the meeting of the Phuket Communicable Disease Committee yesterday (Aug 9), said a report by the Phuket office of the Public Relations Department (PR Phuket).

 

“A Covid Care Center will be set up in the three districts. The centres are to handle people who have tested positive by antigen test kits but have no symptoms,” V/Gov Pichet said, according to the report.

How bizarre is this!  We are told not to trust Rapid Antigen Test results and to get a PCR test and yet they are demanding people go to centres with a positive RAT!  Surely better to isolate at home until PCR test done, or have they run out of those?

Why are the three districts of concern not being reported?
