Chaurajahari installing PCR machine

Kathmandu - Chaurajahari Municipality here has purchased an RTPCR machine for conducting coronavirus test. The Municipality bought the machine on its own reasoning that it took long time to receive reports of the swab sent to other districts as Surkhet, Jumla and Dang for test.

It was a long wait for those staying in quarantine to receive the result of swab test for not having PCR machine at local level. Even other accessories to set up laboratory have been brought here. Mayor Bishal Sharma informed that installation of PCR machine has begun. A team consisting of biometric engineer, doctors and laboratory employees come from Karnali Institute of Health Science were mobilized for the installation of the machine, he added.
