Dedicated Covid-19 testing laboratory for truck drivers in Mombasa. The Ministry of Health is setting up a dedicated covid-19 testing laboratory for truck drivers at the Mombasa Teaching and Referral Hospital. The new laboratory which will be unveiled next week is aimed at fast-tracking the testing of truck drivers and speed up the movement of cargo from the port of Mombasa to other countries in the region. Health Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Rashid Aman also announced that results for covid-19 will be relayed digitally in a move aimed at easing the evacuation of cargo from the port. Dr Aman said the records for those who have undergone testing will be confirmed at points of entry and exit electronically.
