Pune: Maharashtra Health Official said that almost 85,010 self-test kits have been used in the state of June to mid-August to confirm Covid’s participants.
Data on the use of the MyLab test kit (Coviself) is uploaded on the Indian Medical Council’s web portal (ICMR), because companies are considered laboratories and mandate record renewal assignments, such as other laboratories.
“From people who use an independent test kit in the state, 3,656 users (4.2%) tested Covid Positive and local authorities take advanced action through the ICMR portal,” said a Senior State Health official on Tuesday.
Because the number of Covids has begun to decline in the state, the demand for the Mandiri Test Kit also dropped from what happened in June, said a public health department official.
The State Public Health Portal has marked the Mandiri Test Kit under the “Laboratory” segment.
“Onus is in the company to upload test data on the ICMR portal which will be separated by state and district data,” the official said.
A MyLab official said the response to the independent test kit was encouraging throughout the country.
Official ICMR three kits like that – Coviself of MyLab, Pancio Covid-19 Maharashtra tests based in Abbott and Gujarat based in Abbott and Gujarat.
“Response to such kits may be a little low now, because the number of Covid cases is low.
But this kit is useful when the laboratory is overwhelmed, especially when the Covid case is soaring.
Every country has been told to save tabs on the use of the test-independent kit and upload data on the portal,” said the official.
The total load of state content on Tuesday crossed 64 lakh-mark and his death reached 1,35,255.
State government officials target increased vaccination in the district, which mostly depend on the center of public vaccination and a low number of vaccines.
