Private Labs In A Fix As SC Says Covid-19 Testing Should Be Free

After testing nearly 2,000 samples for COVID-19 over the last 10 days, Thyrocare India discontinued collecting new samples for testing on April 9.

This comes a day after the Supreme Court came out with a directive that all private labs should conduct the tests free of cost.

While giving two weeks for the Centre to respond, the Apex court also said the clause for reimbursing private labs for testing shall be considered in future.

“Thyrocare has stopped testing new samples. We have a backlog of 200 samples which we will test. We cannot go against the SC order for charging; however, we are awaiting government advisory on how reimbursement of basic costs will take place,” Velumani A, founder of Thyrocare, told BusinessLine.
