About 1.78 million people have taken part in the government’s multi-million mass testing programme for Covid-19 that ended on Monday. The 530-million-dollar project, that last for two weeks has managed to track down 42 Covid-19 cases.
We’ll discuss the effectiveness of this project. And the Government has unveiled a third round of relief funding amounting to $24 billion. How is the money best directed?
