MANILA, Philippines — Wala pang nakarehistrong coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnostic test na available sa publiko.

Ito ang nilinaw ng Food and Drugs Admi­nistration (FDA) na ang polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based lab kits na donasyon ng World Health Organization (WHO)  sa Research Institute of Tro­pical Medicine (RITM na ginagamit kasalukuyan at ang nadebelop na test kit ng University of the Philippines-National Institutes of Health (UP-NIH) at Department of Science and Technology (DOST) na  isinabak sa field testing kahapon (Marso 16) ang pinapayagan.

Ayon sa FDA, wala pang kompanyang nakapag-comply sa minimum set of requirements para sa diagnostic test para sa COVID-19.

Requirements para sa imported test kits ang License to Operate (LTO) bilang distributor at Certificate of Product Re­gistration (CPR) mula sa reliable at  mature national regulatory agency (NRA) tulad ng FDA counterparts saEstados Unidos, Japan, Singapore,South Korea, Europe at iba pa o Certificate of Prequalification o  Emergency Use Listing   mula sa WHO.

Sinabi ng FDA na walang delay sa pag-aapruba kung makapagsusumite rin kaagad ng kaukulang dokumento at maiisyuhan din kaagad ng certification.
