The President of the Republic Martin Vizcarra on Friday reported that 605,000 tests have been conducted to date in order to detect coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Peru.
The Head of State remarked that this is a much higher quantity compared to that of any country in the region, such as: Brazil, Argentina, or Colombia, which have much larger populations than Peru's.
"This week, we have conducted between 25,000 and 30,000 tests; only the day before yesterday there were 33,000. We are making a great effort, and we are going to continue working that way," he said.
