Banglamung Subdistrict offered free coronavirus tests at the Rong Po Market north of Pattaya for those returning from Songkran trips upcountry.
Fearful of a spike in Pattaya-area Covid-19 cases following Songkran – an unjustified fear based on the past weeks’ worth of daily Public Ministry figures – Mayor Jaraywat Chinnawat and Public Health Department staffers provided antigen tests to shoppers and vendors.
A post-Songkran Covid-19 spike – with the government wildly predicting daily cases of 100,000 nationally –not only has failed to materialize, but cases actually have declined by a third.
Rong Po Market users said they weren’t worried about Covid-19.
