A majority of testing labs in Delhi have stopped collecting swab samples for RT-PCR or antigen tests in wake of the exceeding requests for testing. The labs that are overburdened with pressure are even failing to provide results even within 48 hours of collecting the swab samples. However, failing to provide the results within the said time limit of 48 hours, labs are being forced toward closure for at least two days. I would request people to come to the centre for swab testing that helps in getting results faster," she said. We used to do 500 tests earlier, now we are not able to meet the demand even at 5000 tests, testing results are being delayed too.
