Venezuela’s Minister for Health Magaly GutiĂ©rrez said that the materials included equipment used to prevent and treat COVID-19, such as PCR tests and medical-surgical items.
“This distribution is going to be for our doctors to take timely nasopharyngeal tests, which is going to help us a lot…” said the minister. She urged the population not to lower its guard against COVID-19, and to maintain biosafety measures. “Our call will always be to take care of ourselves,” she reiterated.
