But Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the LCP still needs to submit five positive and 10 negative test results to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine for validation before it can be accredited as an independent testing center.Vergeire also said the DOH is processing the COVID-19 testing accreditations of around 46 hospitals that have applied.
Of this number, 2,388 tested positive while 11,129 were negative. A total of 1,820 were “equivocal,” or unclear whether they are negative or positive. Vergeire said health workers sought help from the health department after some institutions turned them away when they asked to be tested for COVID-19.
“Kasama na po sila sa ating protocol kung sino-sino ang mga pwede nating i-test… Kasama na sila sa ating vulnerable population. Kahit mild lang po ang sintomas ng ating health care workers, kasama na po sila, bigyan po natin sila ng test, kuhaan ng specimens, at ating alagaan,” she added.
