• Spain found faults in a batch of coronavirus tests sent by a Chinese company, which had been sent as a replacement for a first batch that the country received and then returned.
• Spain says it now wants a refund for its entire order of 640,000 tests after finding the tests in both batches weren't sensitive enough to consistently detect the virus, El País newspaper reported.
• The faults in the first batch from Bioeasy, the Chinese company, came at a crucial time in the county's fight against the outbreak. Now more than 21,000 people have died in the country.
• China said Bioeasy was not an approved retailer, and opened an investigation into it last month. Other countries have reported problems with equipment bought from other Chinese companies.

Spain has found faults in a second batch of coronavirus tests bought from a Chinese company that was intended to replace a first batch of faulty tests.

Spain's health ministry confirmed to El País newspaper that it is trying to get a refund for the tests that it bought from Bioeasy, a Chinese company, after testing a sample and discovering that they were not sensitive enough to detect enough coronavirus cases.

The new batch was meant to be a replacement for 58,000 tests that Bioeasy sent Spain last month, El País reported. Spain then determined that the tests could not consistently detect positive cases and decided to return them.

El País reported that after the faults with the first batch, Bioeasy suggested changing the tests to another form of testing that required a machine to read the result, and said it would give the machines free of charge.
