KMC to ramp up tests after case spike in S Kolkata

Following a spurt in the number of Covid-19 positive cases in several south Kolkata neighbourhoods, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation will ramp up infrastructure at its testing centres for more suspects to undergo the test. Currently, the KMC offers its Covid-testing (both RT—PCR and rapid antigen) to around 1,200 suspects every day. However, after a spurt in the positive cases in several neighbourhoods, the urgency to enhance the testing facility is being felt, said a KMC health department official.
