[Coronavirus] Infection underestimated due to inadequate testing: PIL in SC urges for "exponentially increasing" testing labs in India
"... since the initial outbreak till 13.03.2020, our country having a population of over 130 crore had tested only 5900 persons with an average of 5 tests per million", the petition states.
A PIL has been moved in the Supreme Court urging that directions be issued to exponentially increase the number of authorised laboratories testing for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in India, given the huge population of the country.
