CTP representative Sıla Usar İncirli stated that there is a big price difference between Covid-19 test kits used in Famagusta and Nicosia. “Why is the minister not trying to procure more affordable kits?” she asked?
Additionally, the head of the State Chemistry laboratory, Hasan Tertemiz, told Turkish Cypriot daily ‘Yeniduzen’ that the number of tests performed in North Cyprus was low and pointed out that they should be increased, as conducting many tests could support the fight against the disease.
