Prioritization of COVID-19 testing is based on the clinical details of a person – Dr Fong

The Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says their COVID-19 testing is based on the clinical details of a person which goes through a prioritization process to see which test turns around fast.

Doctor Fong highlighted when questioned if the Ministry is testing samples as soon as it arrives or prioritising based on the increase in number of cases of unknown links.

He says they have a huge capacity of testing but it is not limitless.

Doctor Fong says there is a criteria to swab as they do not swab everyone in Fiji.
