''Before corona spread only China was manufacturing testing kits but now everyone is claiming to make or donating thousands diagnostic kits,moreover those unverified kits are being provided to labs as well,'' he mentioned.
Both local and imported testing kits should be gone through the complete verification process by an authentic and reliable department, he further added.
