Amid infection spike, Delhi s testing, vaccination slips to almost 2-week low

Synopsis The last time Delhi tested 100,000 samples was on April 14. Over the past week, it has consistently conducted less than 90,000 daily tests. The Centre has directed the states to ensure that at least 70% tests conducted daily should be RT-PCR, which is considered the gold standard on testing. In the capital, between April 20 and 26, this proportion was below 70%. Agencies Private laboratories attribute this decline to several factors including a demand-supply mismatch, infections to phlebotomists and other frontline staff besides shortage of reagents required for testing. Delhi is floundering on two main tenets of Covid-19 management tests and vaccinations. At a time when it should be conducting at least 100,000 tests daily, of which 70% ought to be RT-PCR, the capital touched a two-week low of 57,690 tests on April 26 while infections grew rapidly.
