The Ministry of Health (Minsa) installed a "fixed point" in the province of Veraguas for taking rapid samples to detect positive cases of COVID-19.
The center is in the Juan Demostenes Arosemena Park in Santiago de Veraguas.
To date, this area of the country accumulates about 7,200 cases in total.
The authorities call on the population to comply with biosecurity measures and thus mitigate the spread of the
coronavirus.
