Though Sindh govt has decided to import kits from UK, China, it needs cargo facilities from federal govtKARACHI: The federal government has become a stumbling block in the process of importing COVID-19 testing kits, Sindh government officials complained on Friday. The Sindh government is facing a severe shortage of testing kits and has decided to import them from the United Kingdom and China. “Without enough test kits, we will face a terrible crisis. Right now, no functional test kits have been provided to Sindh as per federal announcements,” Rehman said in a tweet. According to the health minister, the Sindh government presently has the capacity to conduct 2,000 tests daily, which will be boosted to 8,000 a day whenever the bulk of new testing kits are provided.
