Stop Rapid Tests Till Further Notice: ICMR

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has advised the state governments to not use Rapid Antibody tests of COVID-19 till further notice. The decision was taken after several states reported issues with the Rapid Antibody test kits.

“States advised not to use rapid testing kits till further notice. A lot of variations, kits will be tested and validated by on-ground teams and we will give advisory within a few days,” said ICMR in a statement.

However, the World Health Organization (WHO), is yet to respond to the use of Rapid Antibody tests.
