By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Apr. 27: With an objective to maintain and regulate the minimum standards of laboratories testing COVID-19, the health ministry has issued 'Interim Guidelines for the Establishment and Operationalisation of Molecular Llaboratories for COVID-19'.
In line with this directive, private laboratories can also conduct COVID-19 test through PCR technique by fulfilling the prescribed standards.
However, the private laboratories willing to operate COVID-19 testing services should take separate permission from the ministry, Dr. Bikash Devkota, MoHP spokesperson, said on Monday.
