In an interview on GMA-7’s Unang Hirit, Vergeire said the collection of specimens from homes may only be carried out by licensed laboratories for COVID-19 testing.
“Parang extension nila ito, pwede silang magprovide ng home service, pero may mga condition or requirement,” she added. “Kailangan, ‘yung process is of quality, ganun pa rin po sa ginagawa natin, the same with the laboratories. They should be wearing PPEs and they should be notifying the Department of Health when they are going to offer this kind of service so we can monitor them,” said Vergeire.
Vergeire added that the DOH has previously monitored other laboratories that provide the same service to persons suspected to have COVID-19. “Actually, nakapagmonitor po kami ng mga laboratoryo na ganito at atin pong na-advisan sila,” she said.with additional 1,987 cases reported on Thursday, September 3.Ex-Ozamiz City councilor Parojinog found dead in jailThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
