Gov't aims 20k daily COVID-19 tests by May 15
The Philippine government aims to conduct 20,000 COVID-19 tests daily by May 15 and expand testing in high-risk areas like Metro Manila.
As of now, the country's testing capacity is around 10,000 per day with plans to increase it to 30,000 by end of May.
Galvez emphasized that mass testing will prioritize suspected cases (PUIs) and frontliners in NCR, aiming to flatten the curve there first.
