Chennai: India is one of the few countries that have reported very high numbers of daily testing. The daily testing capacity has crossed 11.70 lakh.

Recently, the Union government has issued the revised and updated Advisory which provides for the first time ‘Testing on Demand’. The States/UTs have also been given wider flexibilities to simplify modalities to enable higher levels of testing.
The daily testing average had been on a continuous upward incline from around 7 lakh tests being conducted per day in the third week of August to 10 lakh tests per day in the first week of September.
