Coronavirus India Roundup April 14: 1,211 new cases, UP gets approval for pool testing, SC limits free testing by private labs

Per the ICMR, over 2.3 lakh tests have been conducted so far, and 33 lakh test kits along with 37 lakh rapid test kits are arriving shortly. Supreme Court modifies order on free testing in private labs; those under PM-JAY eligible for free testing On the 8th of April, the SC had ruled in favour of private labs providing free COVID-19 tests for all. However, private labs objected to this, citing a lack of clarity in the compensation process and arguing that the test kits were expensive and the Rs 4,500 price tag was justified. Following cases in Dharavi, an urban slum in Mumbai, the Maharashtra government will offer HCQ to one lakh volunteers to test its efficacy.
