COVID-19: Karnataka aims to conduct 80,000 tests in three weeks.

Fantastic if followed through. Awaiting more details as the article talks about antibody test kits - implying serological tests along with RNA/PCR tests. https://thefederal.com/covid-19/covid-19-karnataka-to-conduct-80000-tests-in-three-weeks/

If Karnataka can conduct 80k tests in 3 weeks, it will equal ALL testing done in India till April 4!

Need to wait for more details as currently, the same press copy is being published across news outlets.

But this is the scale of testing that we need right now. And more.

Will keep updating this thread on COVID-19 testing in Karnataka.

Now there are 10 government labs in Karnataka that have been approved for COVID-19 testing by @ICMRDELHI 4/n https://twitter.com/chetanabelagere/status/1247015239729598464?s=19
