NICED withdraws faulty test kits after complaint

NICED, Kolkata, on Monday withdrew the batch of faulty kits from state laboratories and replaced them with kits provided by National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune. The state had, on Sunday, claimed that the inconclusive results from faulty kits supplied by NICED were delaying tests. The state had flagged the issue to Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), the country’s nodal body for Covid-19 testing.
