NTF fast-tracking Palawan labs to boost COVID detection
The National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19 is fast-tracking the accreditation of two molecular laboratories in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, to boost local COVID-19 detection capabilities.
As of May 18, Puerto Princesa has 571 active cases and limited testing capacity.
The NTF is monitoring the situation due to the surge in cases and plans to assess needs on-site.
Palawan reopened for domestic tourism in March without requiring tourists to undergo RT-PCR tests prior to arrival.
