Concentrated focus required on increasing Covid-19 testing in Delhi: HC

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday called for a concentrated focus on ramping up laboratory testing for Covid-19 in the national capital as 1,300-odd cases are still reported daily. The high court also raised the question of migrant labourers returning to Delhi after Unlockdown-3 has been declared by the government and construction and industrial activity have picked up. A bench of justices Hima Kohli and Subramonium Prasad asked whether adequate arrangements have been made by the Delhi government at the borders and other places, where industries or construction sites exist in the national capital, for large scale testing to detect Covid-19 cases and for segregating them without causing any inconvenience.
