 |
| By 3 a.m. on March 30, the testing of 3 samples was completed. All were negative for SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thus, Nghe An is one of 25 provinces and cities that can test for Covid-19 themselves. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| The WizDx™ F-150 PCR testing machine is a small testing machine, mounted on a specialized mobile testing vehicle. However, Nghe An does not have this type of vehicle yet, so the machine is installed at the testing lab. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| Currently, the machine's capacity is 40 minutes/run. Each run can test 3 specimens. Each day, the machine can test 30 specimens. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| With this machine's capacity, Nghe An can be proactive in taking samples and testing cases showing signs of close contact with sick people or returning from epidemic areas. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| After testing, if the sample is positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus, Nghe An Provincial Center for Disease Control will send it to the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology for confirmation testing. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| This week, Nghe An province will purchase a large-capacity Covid-19 testing system that can test 1,000 samples per run, worth approximately VND8 billion, to promptly meet local needs. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
