As of 21 April, results of 7231 COVID samples are pending and hence the District administration held a meeting to focus on how the testing can be increased in the district.

As of now, around 3000 samples are tested in BIMS and ICMR-NITM but the collection of samples has been hiked to an average of 6000 samples a day.

Hence sometimes there is a backlog of around 9000 samples, seeing the Regional Commissioner Amlan Biswas along with Deputy Commissioner Harish Kumar met the head of ICMR-NITM and BIMS and assured them of all the support they would require to enhance the testing.

Currently, a few samples are sent to different districts but if the same can be tested in the district itself it would be faster and the spread can be contained.

Focus must be to enhance the capacity of testing in the district itself, Mr. Biswas said.

Within a week almost all the 6000 samples could be tested in the district itself it was opined.

Dr. Chattopadhyay, Director, ICMR-National Institute of Clinical Sciences, said, the testing capability of the sample will be increased in the laboratory.
