AIR correspondent reports, Amdavad Municipal Corporation appealed to the citizens not to go for a free Coronavirus test unnecessarily.
In a press release, AMC said that only those in need should go for the Coronavirus test. It is found that a lot of citizens are queuing up at AMC facilities for free Coronavirus tests only for curiosity. This causes problems for those who are actually in need of getting tested.
AMC has also started using indelible ink in order to identify those who have already undergone Coronavirus tests. Meanwhile, AMC has clarified that as per the guideline issued by ICMR, only antigen and RTPCR tests are authorized to test COVID19 infection.
