The Mon District COVID-19 Task Force has launched a Mobile Van for collection of COVID-19 samples. Considering the logistics and time involved in collecting the nasal throat swabs, the Mobile sample collection Van ensures that people do not have to travel to the COVID-19 Hospital to have their sample collected.

The Mobile sample collection Van helps guarantee the safety of the Health Workers and reduces the use of PPEs as the Doctor/Lab Technician collecting the sample from inside the Mobile Van do not have to wear PPEs. This initiative will supplement the COVID-19 walk- in Sample Kiosk (WISK)/ Sample Collection Booth already in place at the District Hospital, Mon.
