China will supply Samoa with PCR tests, if needed

China will supply Covid-19 rapid testing kits for Samoa in the event there is community transmission according to the Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa.

Fiame said currently there are no rapid testing kits for Covid-19 for the community's use.

China has stepped in to assist and will supply Covid-19 rapid testing kits.

The prime minister also pointed out three PCR tests of frontline workers, which all yielded negative results, means the virus has not leaked out into the community.
