The National Health Laboratory (NHL) has acquired the medical kits needed to help health professionals around the country verify suspected cases of the deadly COVID-19 virus, a senior Health Ministry official said on Thursday.

Dr Khin Khin Gyi, deputy director of Contagious Disease Prevention and Eradication for the Department of Public Health, said the NHL facility in Yangon is up and running.

“The NHL will test two suspected cases at Waibagi Hospital in Yangon and Mandalay General Hospital who arrived in the country on Wednesday,” he said.

“We won’t have to send samples to Thailand’s National Institutes of Health for testing anymore because the NHL’s tests are absolutely equal to those in Thailand,” she added.

The NHL received the 450 test kits from the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Science in Thailand, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Japan, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

According to the ministry’s daily update, 37 people are under investigation and two are suspected to be infected with COVID-19 at government hospitals...
