RNZ Papua New Guinea's Health Minister Jelta Wong Photo: EMTV Papua New Guinea health authorities are struggling to gauge the extent of the country’s Covid-19 outbreak. Over a hundred new confirmed cases of the virus have been reported in the past several days, taking the total number to 1,111. The National Pandemic Controller’s office reported 34 new cases overnight. But concern is rising over the limitations of PNG’s testing – with only around 50-thousand people have been tested so far in a country of eight million. The Health Minister Jelta Wong admits testing capabilities are limited around the country, but said testing would be boosted in the next couple of weeks.
