Meanwhile, an Indian company making health equipment has claimed that it has developed a real-time kit to detect monkeypox.

Indian company Siemens Healthineers said that the RT-PCR test kit will be prepared at a unit in Vadodara. About 10 lakh kits can be made every year. We are fully prepared to make these kits available to the people.
