Delhi battles Covid-19: Are labs failing capital test as cases spike?

India Today  

Delhi's path labs are now under fire over delay in testing and capping. India Today TV did a reality check of path labs in the national capital and found that many labs have adopted an extremely relaxed approach towards handling of Covid-19 cases. The Supreme Court pulled up Delhi government on Friday over a dip in coronavirus testing at a time cases are rising faster than before in the national capital. The labs are already working in two shifts and it's very hard to sustain workforce like that in one set up lab like ours. Dr Arvind Lal, of the Dr Lal Path Labs, who has the capacity of testing in high numbers, said, "We are testing at least 2,000 samples a day.
