“The Russian side, at the request of the DPRK, transferred to Pyongyang 1,500 test systems for the rapid laboratory diagnosis of the coronavirus of this type,” the report said.
As noted, the Foreign Ministry hopes that this step will improve the ability to prevent the spread of the disease in North Korea.
Earlier it became known that Rospotrebnadzor received registration documents for the Russian test system for determining COVID-19 by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.
In late January, the Russian Ministry of Health announced the development of an express test for a new coronavirus.
On February 10, China tested the Russian infection detection test system.
