Coronavirus outbreak: India cancels Chinese rapid antibody test kit orders

ICMR cancels Wondfo's test kits; row on prices and efficacy erupts

Even as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) cancelled the rapid antibody test kit order  from one Chinese company and asked states to put the use of such kits on hold, industry insiders say more accurate testing methods are getting evolved and may be considered by the country soon.
 

The controversy around the efficacy and pricing of the rapid tests may change the way India now tests for the novel coronavirus. Sources say once the final results on these tests are out, India is likely to include these in the testing protocol for coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
