GenSan works to accredit new COVID lab, shifts to rapid testing

General Santos City is working to complete the accreditation of its new modular molecular laboratory for COVID-19 testing.

The city's Inter-Agency Task Force awaits consultants and suppliers from Manila to address remaining deficiencies.

Due to limited RT-PCR cartridges, the city has temporarily shifted to rapid antibody screening at St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Mayor Ronnel Rivera is working on purchasing additional 7,000 rapid test kits to sustain screenings for returning residents and overseas workers.
