Monday 21 September 2020 - 18:43

The Pasteur Institute of Morocco (IPM) assured, on Monday, that it will continue to perform PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) screening, in reaction to news claiming a “shortage” of stocks of material necessary for carrying out Covid-19 tests.

In accordance with the Ministry of Health’s anti-coronavirus strategy, the Institute has been performing, since the outbreak of the pandemic, these tests at the reference laboratory for emerging and dangerous viruses, at the rate of some 2,000 tests per day, underlined the IPM in a statement intended to enlighten the public opinion.

The ministry supplies, on a regular and continuous basis, the Institute with medical equipment and laboratory material, via its central stock, it said.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic in our country, the Institute has never stopped performing Covid-19 screening tests using the PCR technique, the same source added.
