The public health office says that a large number of people from many provinces across the north have been going to Nakornping hospital in order to get tested after news of the latest few cases found in Chiang Mai.
Many people who have come for testing are workers at malls and markets as well as many students who were at the recent Farm Festival on the Hill at the Singha Park in Chiang Rai. Around 200 people are getting tested each day, up by around 50 per day from last month.
Nakornping Hospital says that they have increased their hours for testing from 8am-6pm to 8am to midnight in order to process the demands.
