Daily diagnostics report

An illustration of a COVID-19 particle

The Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is the testing centre for COVID-19 in The Gambia. COVID-19 testing is facilitated by our partners at the Ministry of Health.

Our target turnaround time (TAT) for providing test results to the Ministry of Health is 24 hours from when the sample is received at our Unit in Fajara. The waiting period for samples collected from remote locations would include the time it took to deliver them to the lab.

Please note that the current waiting period internationally ranges from 2 to 4 days or more. For example, Public Health Ontario Canada has a TAT of 4 days, and some commercial test providers in South Africa indicate 2-4 days TAT.

This page will be updated daily to provide information on the number of tests conducted, and the results from these tests. Do check back regularly to stay updated on our COVID-19 diagnostics support to the Ministry of Health.

Termination of daily COVID-19 diagnostics reports from MRCG at LSHTM

With effect from 4 June, the Unit will no longer share daily diagnostics reports on social media and our website. While we will continue to conduct testing as part of our support to the national COVID-19 response efforts, reporting will be done through the Ministry of Health’s channels. We encourage members of the public to follow the daily COVID-19 situation reports from the Ministry for relevant information.
