South Korea will begin sending COVID-19 testing kits to the United States, said South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-Wha told France24 that the country will send 600,000 test kits.

Kang said the tests received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “as a result of conversation between my president and President Trump last month. I think the contracts have been signed and they should be ready for shipment anytime soon (sic),” CNN reported.
