An additional 10,000 testing kits for the Teresita Lopez Jalandoni Provincial Hospital (TLJPH) molecular laboratory in Silay City, Negros Occidental will arrive today.

Mel Feliciano, Inter-Agency Task Force-Visayas chief deputy implementer, announced this during a meeting with provincial government officials and representatives of local government units in the 3rd district earlier this week.

Board Member Ryan Gamboa, who attended the meeting, said Feliciano discussed ways on how to improve contact tracing, testing and containment systems.

Feliciano pointed out the importance of generating real time data and reporting, Gamboa said.
