The Wangdue medical surveillance team collected samples from 150 Indian workers of the Punatsangchhu-II hydroelectric project (PII) for the COVID-19 RT-PCR test yesterday.

The samples were sent to Thimphu and results are expected in two days.

According to PHPA II management, the test was to produce the COVID-19 certificate to process the leave of the Indian workers.

PII Managing Director Amresh Kumar said that in the first phase of the process, around 150 Indian workers would leave for home.
