Bengaluru: Karnataka, which is among only five Indian countries testing more than three crore samples since the Covid-19 outbreak last year, have seen more than the third one – 1.2 crores or 37% – of a total of 3.3 crore samples Tested in just 88 days between April 1 and June 27, 2021.
In this three months, the country tested an average of 1.4 lakh samples per day compared to 55,183 in the previous 388 days.
However, even though there was a surge in testing, the level of prospective for this period remained the highest, data analysis from March 2020 to June 2021 showed.
For example, one third of all tests conducted in this period produced almost two-thirds of positive cases in the country so far.
Disconnect: Nearly 18.4 lakh from the case of the state of the state of the state was reported between April and June this year.
This places the level of participation for the period of 14.7% which is surprising.
A relative, in three months between January and March 2021, the country’s positioning level was only 1.07% – 77,508 cases of more than 72 lakh samples were tested (see graph).
There is no data about individuals.
The overall pioneering level in Karnataka is slightly more than 8%, while the period between March and December has a 6.5% participant level.
While the country has tested more than 3.3 crore samples so far – more than 1.9 crores (58% of the total tests) were carried out after December 31 – no data about how many people were truly tested.
The state certainly does not test 3.3 crore people because this means that almost 50% of the total population will be tested.
“Of course there are many samples tested during the second wave that belong to the same person who might have been tested before too.
There are thousands of people who have tested themselves several times, there is no data specifically in the actual number of people tested,” said a person Official.
Rat vs RT-PCrnotwawags The pressure to increase testing drastically, Karnataka has successfully tested most of the samples using RT-PCR, which is considered a gold standard, even because many other countries have attracted a flee to rely on a quick antigen test (mouse).
On June 27, only 18% or 6.1 lakh samples in this country were tested using mice, and the majority of the remaining samples were carried out using RPCR and other methods.
This, in fact, was better than the share of mice owned by the country at the end of last year – 26% of the 1.4 crore tests carried out until December 2020 was carried out using mice.
The government did not provide separation of how many of the 2.7 crore samples tested at this time using a non-mouse method tested using RPCR specifically, but officials said the majority of them were carried out using this method.
