Target is to conduct 3.75 lakh tests
Alarmed over the steadily rising COVID-19 case graph, the Health Department is yet again organising an augmented testing drive on Thursday and Friday, when 3.75 lakh tests will be done, focussing on those areas where disease transmission has been sustained as well as special vulnerable groups at high risk of contracting COVID. In a statement here on Wednesday, Health Minister Veena George said that the idea was to identify pockets where new cases were being reported continuously as well as identify new segment of population and area where new cases are reported. The results of the two days’ intensified testing drive would be analysed for planning further containment measures.
