OjoPublico created a database of the 110 most important companies in the business of molecular or serological kits to detect the disease. With this information we identified that Peru bought 320 thousand tests in the first group from local companies that import their reagents from pharmaceutical companies such as BGI Group (China), TermoFisher and Abbott (USA), and Roche (Switzerland). We also found that we have purchased rapid tests produced by Orient Gene Biotech (China), one of the most favored companies by the high demand for this type of kits.
