COVID 19 Tests.

We are seeing a huge surge in COVID 19 cases in India, The numbers are increasing at a rapid pace since the last few days. As of now, we all know there is no cure for it, which means no medicine or vaccination available, the best way to stop the spread of the virus is to detect and contain it. The majority of the patient is asymptomatic, meaning there are fewer or NO symptoms of COVID 19. Govt of India has approved two tests for COVID 19 diagnostics and management.
