NEW DELHI: India has registered a record in the number of COVID19 cumulative tests, with over 21.15 crore samples tested, the Union Health ministry said on Monday.
The country’s national positivity rate is pegged at 5.20 per cent.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Monday chaired a meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), where he emphasised the need for aggressive campaigning to combat vaccine hesitancy and called for speeding up the vaccination process.
Progressive countrywide expansion in testing infrastructure has played a crucial role in the steep rise of testing numbers, the ministry underlined.
With 2,393 testing labs in the country including 1,220 government laboratories and 1,173 private laboratories, the daily testing capacity has got a substantial boost.
“India’s cumulative national positivity rate is presently pegged at 5.20 per cent,” the ministry said.
A total of 6,20,216 tests were conducted in a span of 24 hours.
“The number of beneficiaries being tested per million every day has shown a consistent and progressive increase. India’s tests per million stand at 1,53,298.4 as on date,” the ministry highlighted.
