“a Test system developed by SRC VB “Vector”, according to many parameters surpass foreign analogues. The high efficiency of the Russian tests was confirmed successfully held in early February in China comparative tests, which showed high specificity and sensitivity developed in Russia diagnostic kits”, – reads the statement of Rospotrebnadzor, which is available to the “Russian newspaper”.

With their help, were identified the first cases in the country, which allowed to begin conducting anti-epidemic measures. The CPS also advises Belarusian colleagues on all important issues related to the fight against dangerous virus.
the Ministry added that the scientific center “Vector”, which has developed tests included the world health organization in the list of reference laboratories the who novel coronavirus infection. In this centre all countries can send samples for testing.
“Vector” already manufactured and delivered test systems on 3.2 million definitions not only in all regions of Russia, but other countries as well. 30 countries free of charge received from Russia more than 400 thousand tests. This charitable support will continue, assured in the CPS.
“the CPS has followed closely the development of the epidemiological situation in neighbouring countries, including Belarus, where work to contain the epidemic is of great importance to reduce the risks to the health of Russian citizens, given the close interaction in the Eurasian space”, – said in a statement. Moreover, 14 April 2020 at the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian economic Council, the leaders of the member States of the Eurasian economic Union has supported the need for cooperation in order protivodey��out moments infections, scientific cooperation, improvement of the algorithms and implementation of joint preventive measures. Expressed gratitude to Russia for their assistance in providing diagnostic tests.
