Self-Administration receives two laboratories from the Kurdistan Region to help in the final detection of Coronavirus

The Health Authority of democratic Self-Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria revealed that two medical laboratories had received, on Saturday, contributing to the final detection of infection with Coronavirus (Covid 19).

The two laboratories were provided by the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq.

“Joan Mustafa,” the joint head of the Health Authority in north-eastern Syria, said that the two laboratories contain two PCR, which are used in the post-negative analysis stage of the person infected with coronaviruses.

“Mustafa” told the Aso News Network that patients who are found to be infected with Corona virus through a “negative” analysis result are referred to a laboratory, to confirm (the final disclosure) of infection with viruses, including Corona virus.

“Mustafa” said that one of the two laboratories will be placed in the “Um Al-Fursan” dispensary in Qamishlo / Qamishli countryside, while the other laboratory will be located in another point in northern and eastern Syria.

“Mustafa” explained that the divergence between the two testers will take into account the geographical dimension to benefit from the people in the north and east of Syria.

The testers are considered an auxiliary step for the final detection of Corona cases, while the administration previously relied on swabs taken from suspected cases, and sent to the Syrian government in Damascus.

Northern and eastern Syria suffers from a Security Council resolution that imposed the closure of crossings bordering northern and eastern Syria, including Al-Yarubia crossing, which led to a shortage of medical supplies and equipment.

The military commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, “Mazloum Abdi”, in a tweet on Twitter, thanked the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq and President Negervan Barzani for sending the two bodies to the areas of democratic self-administration.
