Delhi govt has slashed the price of RT-PCR tests – the gold standard for detecting COVID-19 – by Rs 800 in the national capital.
tlthese tests are however conducted free of cost in Delhi’s government hospitals but they can cost up to Rs 2,400 in private laboratories.
The cost of an RT-PCR test has come under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court, which is hearing a plea seeking directions to cap the cost at Rs 400 across the country.
