The rapid testing kit (RTK) that India had been waiting for the COVID-19 test for a long time has finally reached the country from China. It also includes antibody and RNA extraction kits. From today, they will be sent to different parts of the country. These kits will be used in areas with hotspots, where the infection is spreading at a high speed. India has received 6.5 lakh kits in the first batch. Those will be sent to different states. At the same time, Assam has got 50,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) kits.

Significantly, five lakh special kits sent from China earlier reached India instead of India. The Chinese company to which India placed the order, had sent the purchased stock to America. The specialty of this Chinese kit is that it tests in just half an hour and it is known whether the person has an infection with corona.

 

The current testing technology used in our country takes three to four hours to test a sample. This kit will be tested in hotspot areas of the country. Also, patients suffering from influenza-like illness will also be tested with this to find out if they are getting corona infection.
