In the coming days Armenia will start testing 1,000 people daily, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said live on Facebook.
“Today we make about 400 tests daily, and have put an issue starting from this week, the latest from Friday test 1,000 people a day. This is why we are currently acquiring 70,000 tests,” Pashinyan said.
He stressed that issue on starting local production of tests is being currently discussed with one of the scientific institutes in Armenia.
“We are allocating $550,000 to the Institute of Molecular Biology for organizing production of tests. The specialists convinced that it will be a success, and we will manage to organize the production of these tests,” the PM said.
