Fiji receives more testing equipment for COVID-19
Format
Suva, Fiji – Additional COVID-19 testing equipment was handed over at the Fijian Centre for Disease Control (CDC) today. The equipment, including four new GeneXpert machines and kits of reagents that are essential for COVID-19 testing, had been procured with support from the Pacific Community, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Amid the detection of a string of locally transmitted cases over the past week, Dr. Ifereimi Waqainabete, Minister for Health and Medical Services says this will further boost their work in identifying COVID-19 transmission.
The type of test this equipment supports – known as a real-time polymerase chain reaction or ‘PCR’ test – is the most accurate form of testing currently available for COVID-19.
