With the state government determined to screen almost the entire population of the state for Covid-19, the burden on testing laboratories has gone up multifold.
The government labs are struggling to deliver test reports leading to delay in tracing and quarantining people who test positive.
Sources said that thousands of swab samples are lying at the labs due to mismatch in testing capacity of the labs and the samples collected. In many cases, the results are coming five to 10 days after the collection of sample, which according to senior medical professionals, serve no purpose in treating the positive cases.
