CHINA SAID it will donate 100,000 more test kits and other urgently-needed medical supplies to the Philippines to help the Southeast Asian country fight COVID-19 spread.
Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian said the assistance includes another 100,000 test kits, 100,000 surgical masks, 10,000 N95 masks, and 10,000 sets of personal protective equipment.
China donated recently some 2,000 test kits to the Philippines. "The Chinese people stand ready to help their Philippine brothers and sisters to go through this difficult time," Huang said.
"Thank you, my brother," Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin tweeted after he was informed of the new donations.
The Philippines now has over 200 confirmed coronavirus cases, including more than a dozen deaths. The Department of Health said that seven patients have recovered from the viral disease. (Xinhua. With additional report from Rhoderick Benez.)
