MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health (DOH) assured the public yesterday that the country’s supply of COVID-19 test kits is enough even as the surge in cases raised the demand nationwide. Some returning Filipinos who are under quarantine have complained about having to pay costly hotel bills because of the delayed release of their COVID-19 test results. At a recent IATF meeting, the DOH reported that there are 312 laboratories conducting RT-PCR tests nationwide.
