Glaring gaps in number of testing labs marks next Covid challenge

Written by Karishma Mehrotra | New Delhi | Updated: May 24, 2020 7:15:49 am About half of the country’s labs are concentrated in five states: Tamil Nadu (67), Maharashtra (66), Karnataka (53), Andhra Pradesh (52), and Gujarat (39). As the novel coronavirus widens its reach across the country, an analysis of hospital inventory shows a glaring gap in testing facilities in districts that are recording new cases. This is delaying reporting of results, which has significant implications when most of the new cases are asymptomatic and decisions on isolation need to be taken as migrants pour in. Over two-thirds of the 630 d...

NEW DELHI: With a vaccine still a long distance away, efforts to repurpose old medications used for other ailments provide hope of an early counter to Covid-19, say scientists, placing the antiviral remdesivir on top of the list of possible contenders.
