The city government of Manila will launch a drive-thru real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing to intensify its mass testing program.
The facility at the Quirino Grandstand will start operating on Monday (January 18) from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
At least 100 individuals will be accommodated daily. PCR tests are strictly by appointment only.
Those who wish to take a swab test are required to schedule an appointment at the Manila Health Department Manila Emergency Operation Center.
The testing is free, according to Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso.
