VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh has now ranked first in the country in terms of the number of people screened per million inhabitants.
According to state health department authorities, Andhra Pradesh has so far analyzed 41,512 samples (830 samples per million) compared to the country’s average of 334 samples. Rajasthan, which is in second place, averaged 809 tests per million. The other three states that made it to the top five list include Tamil Nadu (781 samples per million), Maharashtra (665), and Gujarat (604). Rajasthan has so far tested 55,759 samples, while Tamil Nadu performed 53,045 tests. Maharashtra and Gujarat evaluated 75,838 and 36,829 people respectively.
In addition to establishing eight RT-PCR laboratories in various parts of the state, the state extended its test footprint through Truenat machines and will now be conducted with the rapid antibody test and IgG and IgM chemiluminescent immunoassay tests (CLIA ). The state had the capacity to test only 90 samples per day when the first laboratory became functional on February 15. The state temporarily suspended rapid antibody tests after the Indian Council for Medical Research asked states to do so.
Meanwhile, the state health department ordered officials to offer treatment to Covid-19 patients, age 60 and older, only at Covid’s five state hospitals.
