They're finally here: Rapid test kits that will be able to screen for COVID-19 in under 15 minutes. For weeks you've been hearing that these essential kits are our only path back to a normally functioning airport. And tonight 5,000 such kits are already in the country. They were donated by the Embassy of Taiwan and handed over to Prime Minister Dean Barrow by Ambassador Remus Li-Ko Chen.
In a press release today G.O.B. said quote: "These kits can be used to screen potential carriers of the virus who were infected more than seven days prior to testing" end quote.
And limited as those results might be they are our best hope at a smooth and hopefully safe August 15th reopening of the Phillip Goldson International Airport.
