With more than 8 lakh average tests every day, India scales up COVID-19 testing

| @indiablooms | Aug 26, 2020, at 09:59 pm

New Delhi: The cumulative COVDI019 testing as on date has reached 3,76,51,512, the Indian government said on Wednesday.

As many as 8,23,992 tests were conducted in the last 24 hours, the government said.

Such high level of testing on a sustained basis leads to early diagnosis.

Early diagnosis provides opportunities to isolate or hospitalise the positive cases adequately in advance. This in turn facilitates lower mortality rates. 

Expanded diagnostic lab network and facilitation for easy testing across the country have given a substantial boost.

Building on this achievement, the Tests Per Million (TPM) have seen a sharp increase to 27,284.

It continues to maintain the constant upward trend.

The growing network of testing labs offer expanded opportunities to strengthen the testing facilities across the country.

The total of 1540 labs today, including 992 labs in the government sector and 548 private labs.
