Ito ay kasunod ng social media post ng TruLaboratories Corporation kung saan sinabing inaprubahan na ng DOH ang paggamit ng Antigen Test Kits at kasama na ito sa Omnibus Guidelines on COVID-19 Testing.
“DOH clarifies that The Omnibus Guidelines on COVID-19 Testing has not yet been finalized or approved, nor has it been signed and issued for implementation,” pahayag ng kagawaran.
Sinabi pa ng DOH na wala pa silang ineendorsong brand o distributor
“Moreover, while there are antigen kits approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), DOH does not endorse specific brands or distributors,” dagdag pa ng DOH.
Hinikayat naman ng kagawaran ang publiko na maging maingat sa mga impormasyon at iberipika muna ito sa official website at social media accounts ng DOH.
