The performance was announced in a press conference convened yesterday afternoon by the Central Investigation Bureau, Department of Health Service Support (HSS), Food and Drug Administration and Pathum Thani Public Health Office.  This matter came to light when HSS received a report from the provincial health office that a clinic was illegally conducting rapid antigen testing. HSS then appealed to the Consumer Protection Department (CPPD) to investigate the matter.
