The Detection, Investigation, and Response team in Abu Salim Municipality will be trained on how to conduct the Covid-19 rapid tests.

According to Abu Salim Municipal Council, the teams began on Monday morning to collect random samples from the staff of the health operation room in the municipality, as a starting point, provided that the process will expand to cover all health facilities in the area.

The process will help determine the epidemiology and health situation on the ground, the municipal council explained.

The rapid test comes in the framework of the reference lab studies to understand the prevalence and spread of the Covid-19.
