Improper handling test kits may have led to false positives at Mukdahan school

The false positive results produced by COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits (ATKs) at Khamsoi Pittayasan School, in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Mukdahan, may be due to improper testing or storage of the ATKs, said Department of Disease Control (DDS) Director-General Opart Karnkawinpong Friday.

 

He disclosed that provincial health officials conducted mass COVID-19 testing using four brands of ATKs on 1,106 students and staff at the school, after 14 teachers and three students produced positive ATK results.

 

He said the mass testing showed positive results in 87. Health officials then conducted random tests on two of the 87 using their own test kits, which showed negative results.

Bodes well for your PCR test on arrival and then being locked up for 2 weeks at your own expense

Did they ever consider the test kits they are using might be at fault.

Now they are testing and finding a few they are blaming faulty test kits

The GPO approved lousy Chinese test kits that are banned in the USA because of faulty results.

 

GPO is a bad thing to have in charge of buying the medical supplies for Thailand.

 

 

 

 

And they have shut the school to "make sure"   . . . ????

 

Poor kids are being given a raw deal there, that's for sure.
