Abstract

Faced with a global pandemic, it will ensure the local supply of kits to diagnose the presence of Covid-19 in a person and thus help identify those infected in the country, reducing the risk of contagion in the population. The local production capacity will allow to deliver tests to the public and private sectors, giving Chile independence from the current uncertainty presented by imports.
