DHANGADHI: Swab samples will not be collected for coronavirus testing for the next five days in Sudurpaschim Province.

According to the Directorate of Health, the collection of throat swabs has been postponed for five days as the samples collected earlier are yet to be tested in the Province.

The Sudurpaschim Health Directorate has issued a circular urging all agencies not to collect samples for coronavirus testing for five days.

Dr. Gunaraj Awasthi, director of the Sudurpaschim Health Directorate, informed that the collection of swabs has been stopped as it is more likely that the results will not be correct if the swabs are kept for many days.
