MANGALURU: Private hospitals in Dakshina Kannada district are trying to push the costlier GeneXpert test, which is 500% costlier than RT-PCR test, on unsuspecting patients in a bid to profit from the pandemic.
Although the government reduced rates of Covid tests by half from Rs 1,600 to Rs 800 private hospitals, barring two of them, are still charging Rs 1,600.
