Dani Gold, Head of the Directorate of Defence Research and Development of Israel, has informed that there has already been comprehensive research cooperation between India’s PSA and DDRD for the treatment of COVID-19.
To take the cooperation for the rapid testing between the two countries further, a special flight will be dispatched soon from Israel which will include Israel military R&D scientists and the tech specialists who will be working with a corresponding Indian team under Dr. K.
