BEIJING - China's daily output of antigen test kits has hit around 60 million units, as the country steps up output of anti-COVID-19 medical supplies.
The figures were shared by Huang Guo, deputy director of the National Medical Products Administration, at a press conference on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the production capacity of ibuprofen and paracetamol is also growing, with sufficient active pharmaceutical ingredients to meet domestic demand, said Huang.
