Currently, in addition to the automatic specimen extraction system granted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), CDC has equipped a new molecular biological testing system to ensure two testing chains working at the same time; thus, raising the testing capacity from 50 to 200 specimens per day which meets the demand for screening in the community amid the complicated developments of Covid-19 outbreak.
