The opening as well as the operationalization of the province’s containerized polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is carving a milestone for Bohol’s fight against coronavirus disease (Covid). The provincial government procured the laboratory to increase the province’s capability to test specimens and to give authorities the opportunity to implement the right interventions in containing the spread of the Covid virus.
The containerized PCR laboratory, blessed on Monday, August 24, is defining the political will of the provincial government, led by Governor Art Yap, together with the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan including other key personalities who are playing a major role in the acquisition of the laboratory.
Fr. Val Pinlac officiated the blessing rites attended by some members of the Bohol media who were given a short tour inside the facility.
Barely two (2) days after the laboratory was blessed, the Department of Health (DOH) finally allowed the new laboratory to start its operations after the license to operate was issued to the provincial authorities.
