Chinese Embassy in Dominica has donated urgently 10,000 PCR test kits to Dominican Government to support its effort of fighting against COVID-19 pandemic, as Dominican new confirmed cases surged sharply recently. The test kits have arrived in Roseau on August 17 and will be directly handed over to Dominican Government. 

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, China and Dominica have stood by each other, elevating the bilateral friendship to a new level. Dominican Prime Minister Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit led all cabinet members to Chinese Embassy to express solidarity with Chinese government and people in its fighting against Covid-19 last year. Dominican government also overcame many difficulties to donate masks to China. China tried its best to help Dominica after Dominica reported Covid-19 case and has donated more than 10 batches of medical supplies to Dominica, including masks, protective clothing, ventilators, forehead thermometers, test kits and so on. China also donated 20,000 does of vaccines to Dominica in March this year.

Chinese Government and Chinese Embassy will continue to support Dominican Government and Dominica people to fight against Covid-19 until the final victory is gained, deepen bilateral pragmatic cooperation in all fields including health and further strengthen China-Dominica friendship.
