“This is a far more tedious testing procedure,” he said, comparing it to the diagnostic test used by South Korea.“The last thing I want is to have a rapid diagnostic test, where it might produce false negatives. That is scary. I’ll say you’re negative, then I’ll let you go out, then find out later that you’re really positive,” he said.
In view of this, Duque said the Department of Health is not yet considering the use of RDT kits for the detection of COVID-19 until it has been proven effective by the World Health Organization . “I’ve asked South Korea because South Korea is also an outlier because it is able to test 15,000 [people] a day. I think some of you have read that South Korea has tested people by such magnitudes. And so I asked them, is your testing kit – not to assail, not to challenge but of course I’m also a physician and a man of science… I asked them, what is the basis of your rapid diagnostic tests? Has this been cleared by the WHO,” he said.
