 Govt to enhance coronavirus testing capacity up to 0.1 million per day by July

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Planning Asad Umar on Wednesday said the government was utilizing all available resources to increase the testing capacity for coronavirus from 50,000 to 100,000 per day by next month.

“The challenge of coronavirus pandemic could be addressed by adopting the Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and increasing testing capacity for the disease,” he said while talking to a local news channel.

To a question about rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country, Asad Umar said a complete lockdown policy could not be effective for poor economy.
