New Zealand has donated 2,000 Rapid Antigen Test kits to the Ministry of Health to support our response to COVID-19.

The New Zealand High Commission in Fiji says the test kits will further support Fiji’s ongoing COVID-19 testing efforts.

This is an addition to the antigen detection rapid diagnostic test kits donated by UNICEF last week which would be able to cover 35,000 tests.
