According to sources privy to the details, the federal government has asked the provinces to increase their testing capacity. “In order to improve their capacity, initially, the federal government will provide testing kits to the provinces,” they said adding that the NDMA has been directed to provide kits to the provinces.

The sources further said that the federal government has further directed the NDMA to keep 500,000 test kits in reserve. Further, they said that it has been agreed that the Centre and provinces would purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) with their own available resources.
