Government to Set Up Covid 19 Testing Facility in Hospital Parking Lot

The Ministry of Health is increasing its capacity to test for Covid-19.

 Director of Secondary Health Care Arlene Ponteen says containers will be retrofitted to create a lab in the hospital parking lot in St. Johns.

 She says this would allow the hospital to conduct more tests for the Coronavirus.

Mrs. Ponteen explains that the laboratory will be placed in the parking lot because of the pending construction of new hospital.
