Kyrgyzstan should repeat experience of Czech Republic and Korea testing service sector employees en masse

AKIPRESS.COM - Kyrgyzstan should repeat the experience of the Czech Republic and Korea, which tested en masse employees of service-focused businesses and allowed those who tested negative to work, MP Abdykhap Nurbaev said.
Kyrgyz government and the Health Ministry have given permission for only one private laboratory so far and one test costs 2,000 soms, he said.
"But this is wrong, it's a monopoly that can lead to corruption schemes," he said.
A number of laboratories should be allowed to test for coronavirus in Kyrgyzstan, the MP noted.
The government should develop clear and precise rules, under which conditions enterprises will be able to work in case of lifting the quarantine, he added.
