Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch high throughput coronavirus testing facilities on Monday via video conferencing, in presence of Union Health Minister and three chief ministers. The three testing centres will be at Noida, Mumbai and Kolkata and will be able to test over 10,000 samples a day. The three high-throughput testing facilities have been set up strategically at ICMR-National Institute of Cancer Prevention and Research, Noida; ICMR-National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health, Mumbai; and ICMR-National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases, Kolkata, and will be able to test over 10,000 samples in a day.
"These facilities will ramp up testing capacity in the country and help in strengthening early detection and treatment, thus assisting in controlling the spread of the pandemic," said a statement.
