Behind the face mask and the coveralls (protective suit), it is hard to tell who is who at the virology and molecular laboratory, Royal Centre for Disease Control (RCDC) in Thimphu. Ever since the detection of the first Covid-19 positive case in the country in March, RCDC has been functioning round the clock. Keeping up with the ever-increasing testing procedures at the facility are the staffs – laboratory technicians.

Among these laboratory officers involved in performing over 4,000 Covid-19 tests daily, there are two foreigners, who have made this facility (on the outskirts of Thimphu) along with the rest, a home for themselves.
