The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China has donated one thousand test kits to assist the Government of the Bahamas with confirmation of suspected COVID-19 cases.
In a press statement, the Ministry of Health thanked the embassy for its donation “at a time when COVID-19 threatens the entire world” for “this valued and very practical donation.”
The statement goes on to say, “These tests kits will go a long way to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the Bahamas. As an invaluable friend and partner, the Bahamas looks forward to continued cooperation and collaboration with the People’s Republic of China.”
