It should be noted that the rapid cooperation of the Ministry of Health was critical to raising the project and I would like to thank the Minister of Health for that."
Snir Zeno, CEO of AID GENOMICS, added: "A rapid and regulated sampling system will make it possible to avoid closures and restrictions and the continuation of ongoing economic activity.
Corona must not be allowed to disrupt our daily routine - the wheels of the economy must be allowed to continue to operate.
