Abstract

At the height of COVID-19 pandemic, DA-NFRDI lent a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) machine to the Department of Health (DOH) and the University of the Philippines (UP) last April 14. The Institute saw it as an opportunity to support one of the many strategies of DOH and UP to fight the threats of COVID-19. Since both institutions had limited number of qPCR, they had difficulty reaching their target for COVID-19 tests.
