Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony on Tuesday announced that antigen tests for COVID-19 are now officially in use across the country.
Speaking during a COVID-19 update, Anthony stated that the tests have been deployed across the country. “We have really been working with this test for about two weeks,” he said, while adding that healthcare workers in all ten administrative regions were trained so as to give them the capability to use the tests.
“We have sent out enough kits to them so that they can utilize these tests… We have sent out a lot into the regions we have bought about 50,000 or 60,000 of these tests and we have them available in the country so we don’t have a shortage of them,” he noted.
