Dr. ‘Amelia Afuha’amango said testing devices for the COVID-19 have arrived in Tonga but other equipment is needed.
The World Health Organisation expects to have more batches of COVID-19 testing equipment delivered by the end of the week.
Kaniva News reports more GeneXpert Cartridges had been delivered, but the batch of control kits destined for the Cook Islands, Nauru, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tuvalu and Wallis and Futuna was only 80% complete.
The testing equipment can be used once the additional material arrives.
