snoop1130 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 BANGKOK(NNT) - Thailand’s Public Health Ministry is proposing mass COVID-19 testing of over 200,000 people at all fresh markets in the 29 “dark red” provinces. Deputy government spokeswoman Traisulee Traisoranakul said the proposal will be submitted to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) this week for approval. The plan is a proactive measure aimed at reducing transmission of the virus, after authorities found that fresh markets are the source of major infection clusters. She said 132 markets in 23 provinces were found to be linked to 14,678 COVID-19 infections between April 1st and August 10th, as reported by the Public Health Ministry. The testing program will target vendors, workers, shoppers and residents in nearby communities. Ms. Traisulee said over 850,000 sets of the COVID-19 antigen test kits will be used in the testing program, which is expected to take a full month to complete. The program will also involve other COVID-19 control measures, including preparing more field hospitals and COVID-19 isolation facilities for new infections detected during the testing.

geistfunke Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Now also the markets... The small companies are to be destroyed and the people are to starve. With a flu virus, all this has nothing to do. Thailand follows the NWO of Mr. Schwab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 To be 90% certain of results, a first positive needs to be followed by 3 days later to confirm. Really should be using PCR testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
