The joint research group has managed to collect over 20,000 samples from patients within nine days.

The samples collected in India will be able to test and validate four Israeli diagnostic technologies.

“This cooperation against the coronavirus as well as collaboration in other areas can bring good news to India and Israel, as well as to the whole world,” Israel’s Ambassador to India, Ron Malka, said.
