Observing that the State government was going slow on conducting RT-PCR tests for diagnosis of COVID-19 among citizens, Telangana High Court on Tuesday instructed it to file a fresh status report within 48 hours on steps taken to tackle further spread of the virus in the State.
A bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy, hearing a couple of PIL petitions on COVID-19 related issues, directed the government to explain its plan to check the second wave of Coronavirus. Expressing dissatisfaction over non-compliance of the bench’s instructions issued during the previous hearing, it noted that the RT-PCR tests conducted by the government were less than 10% of total diagnostic tests (which includes Rapid Anti-gent tests) held in some districts.
