Vietnamese and Japanese researchers develop test kit for Covid-19


HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Fifteen researchers from Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology and Japan’s Nagasaki University have successfully produced antigens to develop quick test kits for SARS-CoV-2, the cause for Covid-19.

If the ELISA test kits are certificated by Vietnam's Health Ministry and permitted for mass production, Vietnam would be able to stop importing kits from South Korea.
