In addition, Dr Dentzer confirmed in the interview that the ministry has requested an independent evaluation of the Large Scale Testing campaign, making use of independent experts from other countries. This report will examine the efficacy of the project in terms of public health, as well as its impact on the handling of the pandemic.
