Wuhan: We find that without transmission from

undocumented cases, reported infections during 10–23

January are reduced 78.8% across all of China …
This finding indicates that contagious,
undocumented infections facilitated the
geographic spread of SARS-CoV2 within China.

Now, Italy is also finding the same,: “"The vast

majority of people infected with Covid-19, between 50
and 75%, are completely asymptomatic but
represent a formidable source of contagion". The
Professor of Clinical Immunology of the University of
Florence Sergio Romagnani “
WHO: DG @DrTedros says countries are putting into
place school closures & other social distancing
measures but aren't ramping up the key features need
to beat back #Covid19 — testing to find the infected,
isolate the sick, quarantine their contacts.

Current Capacity
- India can currently conduct up to
10,000 tests a day.
- ICMR labs have about 100,000
testing kits (additional 200,000
ordered)
- Random testing has started at
scale of 10 per week.
ICMR testing capability and strategy
Suggestions:
- Enable private testing: allowing
for capacity to go up 500,000
tests a day
- Speeden up the evaluation of
Indian methods of testing
- Make testing free for citizens and
waive off all medical expenses of
hospital quarantine and treatment
for patients
- Figure out highly correlated, low cost test

- This could replace temperature checks & be done at train station too

- Test large number (~500K / day) of asymptomatic people

- People who test positive are confirmed using testing kits

Rapid experimentation & involvement of Pvt partners in multi

stage testing
