Earlier this month, Visakhapatnam District Collector V Vinay Chand announced that Vizag authorities must take an aggressive route for testing people for containing COVID-19. In this regard, Mr Chand, on Saturday, conducted a comprehensive meeting at Andhra Medical College to speak about the government’s COVID-19 testing strategy. In the meeting that was attended by Superintendents and Nodal Officers, the Collector appraised the use of Rapid Antigen Kits for strengthening testing to diagnose COVID-19 in Visakhapatnam.

In the meeting, Collector V Vinay Chand stated that Visakhapatnam has received 6,000 of the RAT kits so far, and will receive a few thousands more in the coming days. The newly received kits will be made available at all Andhra Medical College’s peripheral hospitals including Government ENT Hospital, Regional Hospital, Government Hospital for Chest and Communicable Diseases, Government Hospital for Mental Care among others. The idea behind spreading the kits across all hospitals is to both ease the pressure on Government Chest Hospital, and enable rapid testing for COVID-19 at multiple hospitals in Visakhapatnam, said District Collector V Vinay Chand. The top officer also listened to the concerns and feedback given by the Superintendents during the meeting.
