Additional chief secretary (health0 Arun Kumar Singh flagged off the mobile laboratories which will be deployed in five districts Ranchi, East Singhbhum, Dhanbad, Palamu and Hazaribag – since the positivity rate is higher or the population density is more in those areas.
The mobile laboratories, approved by ICMR and the National Accreditation Board for Laboratories, have a capacity to test 1,000-1,500 samples per day. The mobile labs would cover an area within 35km radius of the district headquarters and also test samples collected from far-off areas of the five districts.
