Clinical Performance of the Reverse Transcription-Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for the Diagnosis of COVID-19 in a Thai Community Hospital at the Thailand-Myanmar Border

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a global health threat and is a public health issue in Thailand and other countries. The extensive cross-border between Thailand and Myanmar is considered to be at a potentially high risk for COVID-19 distribution in this region. In this instance, simple and cost-effective tests for rapid and early detection of COVID-19 would be useful for effective patient management and control of the disease.
