FAQs About Coronavirus Testing Labs in India:

Below are some of the frequently asked questions about COVID-19 testing labs in India:

Who should test for COVID-19?

All those who have symptoms of the COVID-19 with the below criteria should test for Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19:

> International travel history in the last fourteen days.> Healthcare workers> Those who have come in contact with confirmed cases.> Those who have been hospitalized with Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) or Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARS).> Those living in the same household with confirmed case(s) should test once between 5 and 14 days.> Healthcare workers who came in contact with a confirmed case(s) without adequate protection as per WHO guidelines

Is the Coronavirus test free?

The Supreme Court, as on 13 April 2020, has allowed private laboratories to conduct a free test for Coronavirus or COVID-19 only for Ayushman Bharat car holders, while the government will formulate different schemes for BPL categories. However, the lab test is free in government-run labs. Those who do not fall under the Ayushman Bharat and BPL categories and would like to test in a government-designated private lab will have to pay a maximum of Rs.4,500 which includes Rs.1,500 for a screening test and Rs.3,000 for a confirmation test. The ICMR will amend the guidelines from time to time.

What is the testing protocol for COVID-19 in India?

The initial testing protocol in India was to test anyone with travel history to high-risk countries and those who came in contact with those who have already tested positive for COVID-19. This was revised on 20 March 2020 to expand the scope to all symptomatic healthcare workers, asymptomatic direct and high-risk contacts of a positive case and all hospitalised patients with SARS.
