Until now, our focus was to prevent COVID-19 from entering into the country. After almost nine months, it is now here in our communities. Rampant local transmission of coronavirus is evident. Through this lockdown, our efforts are two ways. A vigorous tracing of contacts of the positive cases we have detected from one end and mass testing of representative samples from the other. That way, we assess the spread, and carry out effective testing and treating.
Dr Lotay Tshering
MOH with support from Deesung and other active frontliners will be conducting a mass testing program in Thimphu tomorrow.
