The number of tests performed. |
The Madagascar Ministry of Public Health provides daily COVID-19 updates on [their official Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/minsanp) that include the cumulative number of tests performed, labeled "Nb. TESTS." We report here the number labeled "PCR" but do not include the number labeled "GENEXPERT" because it is not clear to what this latter number refers. We suspect it refers to a type of PCR test and thus might be subsumed by the overall PCR number.
These updates date back to March 2020 but did not begin including testing numbers until 28 April 2020; the cumulative total then was 3065. Thus it is not clear when testing began.
No other testing information has been found, such as whether the reported numbers include pending tests or whether all laboratories are included in the totals. |
