He said, “We have now come up with guidelines for integrating the private sector into COVID-19 testing.
“So, every private sector lab that wants to join can pick up the COVID-19 testing guidelines that we will upload on our website tonight, look through it and define what they need to do and we will support them through that process.
“This is one bit of the changes we continue to make in our response to the pandemic.”
