LONDON: Britain's health ministry said on Thursday (Apr 17) there were no plans to halt rapid coronavirus testing, after the Guardian newspaper reported the programme may be scaled back in England because of concerns about false positives. "With around one in three people not showing symptoms of COVID-19, regular, rapid testing is an essential tool to control the spread of the virus as restrictions ease by picking up cases that would not otherwise have been detected," a ministry spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. "Rapid testing detects cases quickly, meaning positive cases can isolate immediately, and figures show that for every 1,000 lateral flow tests carried out, there is fewer than one false positive result."

Migrants protesting against the military junta in Myanmar hold a picture of leader Aung San Suu Kyi, during a candlelight vigil at a Buddhist temple in Bangkok. (Photo: Reuters) The Myanmar junta's brutal military repression against anti-coup demonstrators and airstrikes against innocent villages near the Thai border between March 27 and 30 has prompted acute rebukes and trade sanction threats from the international community. Concerns of civil war risks loom as pro-democracy protesters and ethnic armed groups vow to fight back, putting Myanmar on the verge of an economic collapse after enjoying economic growth of between 5.9% to 7.3% from 2015 and 2019. The World Bank late last month slashed Myanmar's economic outlook this year to a contraction of 10%, a sharp reversal from the bank's previous economic update in October of 5.9% growth in 2021, one of the strongest rates of expansion in the region. Earlier in February, a report by Fitch Solutions warned the political ... » Learn More about Neighbourly neglect
