‘Gearing for return to normal life’

KUWAIT CITY, May 12: With increasing indications of the gradual return to normal life and the reopening of airports, the Ministry of Health is studying a number of options and solutions necessary to deal with these developments, reports Al-Qabas daily. According to reliable health sources, the ministry received an offer some time ago for the supply of medical devices that can produce COVID-19 test results within 20 to 30 seconds after conducting swab tests on those coming into the country. This test is carried out using an innovative, easy-to-use device that requires only one trained person to operate it. Each device can carry out hundreds of tests per day and achieve accurate results of up to 98 percent. It is among the proposed solutions for Gulf health systems especially with the upcoming reopening of the airports in some Arabian Gulf states.
