2 blocks from my place, an apartment building is placed under qurantine. The authorities and the police are not letting anyone live. A family staying there had visited Italy.

12 positive cases in Keralam today. All returned from the middle east. More than 50000 are under observation in the state.


Keralam has tested 3716 people. India, by yesterday has tested 14514 people. So, 25% tests are from one single state of 35 million people. India should accelerate testing now.

Remarkable statistic. So 1.3 billion people in India outside of Kerala and only 11000 of them tested.

That's 1 test per 120,000 people. Wtf is the point?

You think China tested 1.4 b Chinese ?
Only people with suspected Chinese virus or who were in contact need to be tested.
I think India still sends it samples for old fashioned testing and does not have focused kits for corona.

India is not testing all suspects. India is limiting testing to those with travel history or contact history with known cases. Symptomatic patients without travel/contact history are declined for testing. This is the problem. The world realised some time ago that cases are occurring without any known chain of transmission.

90 % cases are from known travel histories. Even if these are checked, India would have a good idea. But this is all theoretical as the average time between contraction of the virus and mortality is 9 days. Or the patient recovers. So this week is critical as we have reached 300 known cases . In a weeks time we will know where we stand.

We currently import test kits, which cost around $100 a piece, and the testing is free, private clinics are currently not allowed to test for the virus, so we have to be selective. We don't have the money to test every other person walking around with a cold and cough. In the next week or so, several private clinics will be allowed to conduct tests, several indian private companies are also working on indigenous test kits which will cost around $10, then we can expand testing.
