The Faculty of Medicine at Siriraj Hospital has unveiled its newly developed Covid-19 test kits which provide results in 15 minutes, and which are expected to be available next month.
Dr Anchalee Tungtrongchitr, head of the faculty s department of parasitology, said Covid-19 transmission has been so widespread that conventional RT-PCR testing cannot cope with rising demand.
The results take a long time to be known while the testing is also costly and involves many medical staff.
