(Eagle News)–The Philippine National Police is eyeing opening a COVID-19 testing facility.

“Medyo maliit lang ang capacity nito pero sinadya ko ito, ginastusan namin para sa mga kapulisan,” Gamboa said.
He said Research Institute for Tropical Medicine personnel will provide training to PNP medical officers on COVID-19 test procedures.
