Taiwan is set to donate 20,000 rapid COVID-19 testing kits to several diplomatic allies in Central America. That was the word from the foreign ministry’s head of Latin American affairs, Alexander Tah-Ray Yui, on Thursday.
Yui said that the kits are made in Taiwan and have an accuracy rate of over 90%.
The first 10,000 will be sent to Honduras, where those who have fallen ill include President Juan Orlando Hernandez. The foreign ministry says that this shipment of kits could be sent later on Thursday at the earliest.
A further 10,000 kits will be split between Guatemala and Belize.
