The central government has imposed a lockdown for over two and a half months to overcome the corona, which is proving insufficient. Meanwhile, like many states of the country, Uttar Pradesh is also fighting the war against Corona. For this, Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Postgraduate Medical Sciences (PGI), Lucknow, which is playing a leading role in the prevention of corona infection in UP, has prepared a cheap Kovid-19 test kit.

So far, four and a half thousand rupees are being spent in corona investigation in private pathology. For this reason, many people are not getting corona examination even if they show suspicious symptoms. This is the reason why doctors and paramedical staff have to quarantine with the sealing of hospitals when such people come out corona positive.
