CHENNAI: Home testing kits such as Covid-19 are actually readily available for Rs 250 every internet and several medical stores are ready to secure them on demand.
The antigen testing kit has been accepted by the fundamental drug jurisdiction, however the evaluation isn’t recognised by the country health authorities.
State medication control K Sivabalan said individuals may use the testing kit in your home, however, such individuals testing positive won’t be inserted into the country Covid-19 registry.
“The country government warrants only RT-PCR, which is regarded as a gold standard evaluation.
Thus, these individuals might need to experience an RTPCR to be contained in the public registry.
Medical professionals who they consult with will even suggest an RTPCR evaluation before supplying them anti-Covid medicine,” he explained.

.RTPCR is a typical recommendation for global traveling,” he explained.
