Pattaya –
Pattaya City is currently using a rescue foundation as a one-stop service center with Antigen Test Kits (ATK) for Covid -19 testing.
First, a video version of this story can be seen here:
Pattaya City Mayor Sonthaya Khunploem has launched the ‘Pattaya Mai Ting Gun’ or ‘No One Will Be Left Behind’ project to find as many confirmed Covid-19 cases as possible in the local community. There are in total 2,000 people chosen from high-risk places in markets and local densely packed communities who are being tested with Antigen Test Kits (ATK) over the last two days.
Mr. Sonthaya told The Pattaya News team, “Yesterday (August 10th) and today (August 11th) from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. we have used the parking area at the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation in Naklua for Covid -19 testing.”
“This area will be used as a one-stop service area for the test but is not for people who walk-in. Those being tested were pre-selected from high-risk communities and places with lots of exposure to the general public and many people. Social distancing rules and Covid-19 measures are also being taken at the testing location.”
“Anyone who has tested positive with an Antigen Test Kit will then be tested with an RT-PCR test for a final confirmation of their status.”
“If they are a confirmed case of Covid-19 with no symptoms, they will have to register via the LINE application at the LINE ID @savepattaya.“
“They will receive medicine and be able to treat themselves at home as well as report their symptoms over the LINE application to medical staffers daily. This will only apply to those who have the ability to self-isolate, those who live in certain large families or packed living arrangements may need to go to community isolation or a field hospital.” The Mayor explained.
“Anyone who has tested negative for the virus and had not previously received any Covid -19 vaccine will be placed first in line for a vaccine as well. The people being tested over the past several days are all those in the so-called “front line” of the community who interact with and work with many people on a daily basis. They must be protected for themselves and our community.” The mayor stressed.
