         Pooled Testing ద్వరా హాట్ స్పాట్లను గుర్తించాలి||Identify hotspots by pool testing

Countries across the globe are grappling with limited numbers of RT-PCR testing kits. Moreover, these tests take six hours or so and many hospitals have to wait two days or so for results to return.This is where pooled testing can make a difference. In this strategy, pools of 16, 32 or 64 swab samples can be tested at one go. In India and elsewhere the main grouse is that many test kits are going waste due to low positive numbers. This has been ICMR’s primary objection to testing more people, especially asymptomatic ones. India has so far conducted around 46,000 tests to confirm 1,965 cases indicating that just 4-5% of tests reveal positive results.
