NEW DELHI: Soon after procuring rapid antibody test kits, the Delhi government on Sunday began testing people for Coronavirus in various containment zones spread across the city, officials said.
Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Saturday said the AAP government has acquired 42,000 such kits.
The rapid antibody tests were initiated in Delhi on Sunday for all the containment zones across the national Capital, the officials said.
Two kinds of diagnostic tests are being currently prescribed for use in India — the RT-PCR test and rapid antibody test — as per global health norms.
A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is a laboratory technique combining reverse transcription of RNA into DNA that detects the virus while the antibody tests, which use blood, detect the body’s response to the virus.
