BANGKOK, Nov 29 (Bernama): As more countries detected the newly identified Omicron Covid-19 variant and imposed new travel curbs to prevent the spread of the highly infectious strain, Thailand is considering rescinding its plans to use the Rapid Antigen Test for on-arrival screening.

"The RT-PCR test may continue to be used. However, we will further assess the situation,” said Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) assistant spokesperson Dr Apisamai Srirangsan at Covid-19 daily briefing, here, today.
