Amsterdam – The laboratory capacity in our country for analyzing corona tests is nearing its maximum. That is why it makes no sense for the GGD to scale up with more test locations, even if the organization is capable of doing so. “We can order 100,000 extra tests per week within about three weeks, but the labs cannot handle it,” says a spokesman for GGD GHOR Nederland.
