The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 2 Apr 2020Lockdown buys us time to ramp up test kit production. Testing more will ease healthcare burden.
With India uncovering a number of Covid-19 clusters in recent days and the clock ticking on the 21-day lockdown, focus must turn to ramping up production of testing kits. Like most parts of the world including many developed countries encountering the new disease, it was important to prioritise the available testing kits for vulnerable sections like symptomatic foreign returnees and those coming in close contact with confirmed cases. As more disease clusters surface, regularly testing medical personnel, people living in and around hotspots, and those with symptoms resembling the flu and pneumonia will ensure an orderly transition to less stringent social distancing norms when the lockdown ends.
