Covaxin trials for 2-18 year group to begin in 10 days As India's testing capacity continues to reel under the mounting number of COVID-19 cases, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), on Tuesday, issued an advisory for the home testing of COVID-19 using Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs). CoviSelf—developed by Pune-based Mylab Discovery Solutions— is the first self-use Rapid test for COVID-19 to receive the ICMR's approval. The advisory also recommended that only symptomatic individuals and immediate contacts of laboratory-confirmed positive cases avail home testing; discouraging indiscriminate testing. A mobile application called CoviSelf—which will be available on Google Play Store and Apple store—will serve as the primary platform for the testing process.
