PNG scales down Covid-19 testing
Papua New Guinea s National Control Centre has decided to scale down testing for Covid-19 and focus on rolling out the vaccination programme.
PNG has reported over 17,000 confirmed cases of the virus since the pandemic began a year and a half ago. Only around 132,000 tests have been conducted.
The Controller of the National Pandemic Response, Police Commissioner David Manning said testing would continue but mainly at health facility settings.
He said Covid-19 is already in the country, thus it is better to continue to implement containment strategies and bolster efforts with the available vaccines.
Local farmers from Pele island, Paunangisu, Siviri, Lelepa, Malafau and Tanoliu are fortunate to attend a two-day training on nursery support with fruits and vegetables that is currently taking place at Tasivanua Envrionment Education and Resource Centre, Emua village.
The training was organized by the European Union Vanuatu Value Chain Programme (EU VaVaC), Fruits and Vegetables Project Officer with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), Alexander Micky Wong.
EU VaVaC Fruits and Vegetables Project Officer, Mr Micky Wong said, âThe main purpose of organizing the training at Emua is because the village is an active community that has established a community nursery to assist the people.
