Progressive countrywide expansion in testing infrastructure has played a crucial role in the steep rise of testing numbers. With 2316 testing labs in the country including 1201 Government laboratories and 1115 Private laboratories, the daily testing capacity has got a substantial boost.<\/p>\n
High level of comprehensive testing on a sustained basis has also resulted in bringing down the national positivity rate.<\/p>\n
