India exceeds 140 per day per million tests advised by WHO by more than five times: Health Ministry

India has exceeded the 140 per day per million tests as advised by world Health Organization by more than five times.

 

In a tweet, Health Ministry said, very high levels of testing lead to early identification, prompt isolation and effective treatment of COVID19 cases.

 

The Ministry said, this has resulted in sustained low Fatality Rate. With higher



testing, eventually there is a fall in the positivity rate.

 

India's Centre-led strategies of enhanced infrastructure, aggressive and easily accessible country-wide testing have led to a surge in the daily testing capacities of the country.

 

Health Ministry said,  more than 15 lakh COVID19 tests can be done everyday.
