Covid-19 test positivity rate drops to 0.006 per cent in Uttar Pradesh
The Covid-19 test positivity rate drops to 0.0006 per cent in Uttar Pradesh. This happened due to proactive measures such as the aggressive ‘Trace, Test and Treat’ policy, vaccination and partial corona curfews to eradicate the pandemic.
Also, Uttar Pradesh appeared as the only state to have tested more than 3 lakh samples a day and more than 7.19 crore samples for Covid-19 so far. The testing was particularly ramped up to reach the rural pockets of the state.
On the other hand, states like Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have continued to lag in terms of Covid testing.
