CHIANG MAI, Jan 4 (TNA) – About 1,000 officials who worked at the provincial hall  underwent antigen tests in a bid to contain COVID-19 while the communicable disease committee of the northern province postponed onsite learning at local schools.

 

The antigen tests were aimed at public safety after people had their vacation during the New Year holiday. The tests were compulsory for all officials working at the Chiang Mai provincial hall.

 Another ATK test a few days later or a PCR test?

Could be embarrassing.

Not for me, I make an effort to avoid crowded places.

Oh my goodness.  To be a company with contracts to supply governments with Covid tests.  What a field day for shareholders!

These are Thais so they are covered.
The fat cats which create a pay-day for hospitals are foreigners who pop positive and then are forcefully incarcerated into a private hospital.  You know?  You and me.  Which is why I'll avoid testing like the plague or being in a situation where I may be exposed to testing.
Even if you have had Covid, you can pop positive for a long time. 
Best thing to do is just stay away from that madness.

100% agree... it's a punishment if you tested positive or if they say that you are positive.

Yeah that is possible if you live here in Copenhagen and can't isolate at your own home.

Hotel and food are free, but you can only go there if you have mild or no symptoms.

I haven't checked if other cities offer it too.

 

The City of Copenhagen offers a voluntary isolation stay for citizens infected with COVID-19, who cannot isolate themselves at home.

 

Tourist or temporarily in Denmark. You may be offered an isolation stay.

I know several foreigners in Chiang Mai who tested positive at private hospitals within the past few days and have mild symptoms.  They all were told to go home and self-isolate for 10 days and take another ATK test.  At home testing is OK.  

 

No interest from the hospitals in admitting them, so it's false that hospitals want to make money from this current surge.  They want to save their capacity for those who are truly sick.

According to the OP picture it's less a mass test than a super spreader event ????
