India has issued new guidelines for the testing of Covid-19 to ease pressure on diagnostic laboratories which are struggling due to an increased caseload as the country grapples with a second wave of the pandemic.
An advisory by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said that RT-PCR tests must not be repeated on any individual who has already tested positive for the virus once, either through rapid antigen test or through RT-PCR.
It also said that testing is not required for individuals who have recovered from Covid-19 at the time of hospital discharge, in accordance with the health ministry policy.
