Mumbai: Maharashtra is set to cross the 10-million (one crore) mark in coronavirus tests, a milestone that three states—Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Bihar—have crossed so far. Maharashtra accounts for 8% of tests in the country, but has the highest caseload and positivity rate.
Experts say, statistically, the state has tested 7-8% of its population, but a positivity rate of 18% warrants a higher testing ratio. At the outset of the pandemic, Maharashtra accounted for up to 40% of tests carried out nationally, but gradually it fell behind.
UP has carried out highest number of tests (1.74 crore) followed by Bihar (1.3 crore). TN comes third (1.13 crore) while Maharashtra is fourth (99.65 lakh) as on Thursday. The other three states have a positivity rate lower than Maharashtra’s.
