Phuket has announced it will launch rapid Covid-19 antigen testing from Friday until May 15 to speed up the detection of cases and control the spread of the virus.
Piyapong Choowong, deputy Phuket governor, said the provincial disease control committee's meeting approved the plan on Thursday to carry out the tests on visitors from Krabi, Ranong, Trang and Phatthalung.
He said the governor has also ordered officials to inspect three districts, gathering information about those who are not receiving treatment among those infected, finding at-risk groups in each tambon and carrying out active case finding in the areas.
