Tests more than 10 lakh people in a day<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Delhi, 22 AUG 2020\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping to its promise of exponentially increasing the daily COVID-19 tests to 10 lakhs, India has crossed the significant milestone in its fight against COVID today.<\/p>\n

In a testament to the determined, focussed, consistent and coordinated efforts of the Centre and the State\/UT governments, India has conducted 1 million tests in the past 24 hours. With 10,23,836 tests done yesterday, India has achieved its resolve to test 10 lakh samples daily.<\/p>\n

With this achievement, the cumulative tests are more than 3.4 crore (3,44,91,073).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The number of daily tests has been increasing in a steep climb. Average daily tests during the past three weeks also strongly depict the progress made in enhancement of COVID-19 tests across the country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As has been reported from States\/UTs that have pushed ahead with aggressive testing,\u00a0there is a commensurate decline in the positivity rate. Although higher number of tests will initially lead to a rise in the positivity rate, it will eventually lower when combined with other measures such as prompt isolation, efficient tracking, and timely effective and clinical management.<\/p>\n

Combined with enhanced testing, policy decisions of the Centre and the States\/UTs have facilitated easy testing across the country. This has boosted the daily testing capacity.<\/p>\n

Enhanced diagnostic lab network has also sided in this achievement. Today, the country has a strong network of 1511 labs comprising 983 labs in the government sector and 528 private labs. These include:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Real-Time RT PCR<\/strong>\u00a0based testing labs: 778 (Govt: 458 + Private: 320)<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0TrueNat<\/strong>\u00a0based testing labs: 615 (Govt: 491 + Private: 124)<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0CBNAAT<\/strong>\u00a0based testing labs: 118 (Govt: 34 + Private: 84)<\/p>\n
