"Although you got permission to conduct Covid-19 RT-PCR test, but you failed to start the testing. Your Covid-19 testing permission is temporarily revoked," the letter read.
To get the permission back, the institutes have to submit another application after preparing the laboratories for Covid-19 sample testing. They will also need to take "no objection certificate" from Directorate General of Drug Administration for imported Covid-19 testing kits.
The final decision of giving them back the permission will depend on the DGHS field visit at the facility, it read further.
