Rapid testing kits key to cutting off viral transmission
Thu, 29 April 2021
Almost all provinces have now been equipped with Rapid Antigen Testing Kits for Covid-19 and have personnel trained in their use and ready to deploy them in the field as necessary, according to Ministry of Health technical director-general Hok Kim Cheng.
Kim Cheng told The Post on April 29 that the kits have reached most provinces, especially those provinces with severe transmission.
“Some provinces have already been using them. In fact, the ministry sent them to the provinces a week earlier,” he said, adding that the kits produce the test results in roughly 15 minutes.
