It even missed its target of 8,000 daily tests by the end of April and rejected calls for mass testing.

But this figure can be reached only in ideal conditions, and does not account for several factors that can affect the operations of each lab.Latest data

Thailand begins coronavirus vaccine trials on monkeysThailand on Saturday began testing a vaccine against the coronavirus on monkeys after positive trials in mice, an official said. in philippines, we have no monkeys. chinese eat them all already. we don't do test on monkeys. we use human. Nakaka-inggit yung Thailand. Meron din silang clinical trials para sa Covid na ginawa sa mga unggoy. Pinakikita lang nito kung gaano ka backward ang Pilipinas sa ganitong agham.
