The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Thursday approved a home-based testing kit for COVID-19.
It is a home rapid antigen testing (RAT) kit, which is advisable only on symptomatic individuals and immediate contacts of coronavirus-positive patients confirmed by laboratories. Indiscriminate testing, however, is not advised, ICMR said. All individuals who test positive may be considered as true positives and no repeat testing is required.
