Testing numbers were not high before when they were doing RT-PCR. But after they got rapid testing from South Korea, they started using those to increase testing numbers. Andhra lo multiple labs unnayi, RT-PCR ki but it takes longer. TG lo more centralized, all tests are through CCMB. 

testing numbers dont include rapid tests. 

according to state officials, AP used a test kit that is manufactured domestically in vizag for tuberculosis,

pcr to tuberculosis based tests was about 2:1 and even if you went by purely pcr tests, AP tested at more than twice than TG. 

looks like AP has more than 1 lab for processing samples. either way it is undeniable that AP is testing at way higher levels than TG.

Andhra govt is open with the numbers of tests they conduct daily. and how many of them are of rt-pcr variety. they are much more transparent.

48034 is the total number of tests conducted in the state till Wednesday night, a feat achieved excluding the rapid test antibody kits imported from South Korea, the state health officials stated.

However, in absolute numbers, Maharashtra did 82304, Rajasthan 60420, and Tamil Nadu 59023 tests, a countrywide test figures chart accessed by DH from AP government shows. Delhi, with 28309 tests done, has the conducted average of 1490 tests per million.

While most of the states are using the RT-PCR procedure, “the gold standard” in COVID-19 tests, Andhra Pradesh government is also using around 240 TrueNat machines with it, normally used for Tuberculosis testing.

While 5,757 tests were conducted on Tuesday, on Wednesday it was 6,520.

“Out of the over 48,000 samples tested, 32 thousand are RT-PCR and 16000 are TrueNat based,” said Jawahar Reddy, AP’s special chief secretary (health).

Nevertheless, since RT-PCR is the only confirmatory test approved by ICMR, TrueNat tested positive samples are also sent for RT-PCR for validation, the official said.

Andhra Pradesh chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy had, earlier this month, unveiled ICMR approved TrueNat test cartridges costing Rs 1,200 each. Officials claimed these kits can reveal results in an hour, “against three days and Rs 4500 taken for RT-PCR.”

These cartridges are PCR – Polymerase Chain Reaction based, into which nasal or throat swab samples are taken and assessment is carried utilizing the existing TrueNat Tuberculosis test machines.

The Visakhapatnam based Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone is manufacturing around 2000 such cartridges per day, with plans of scaling up production.

AP has plans to further scale-up the daily test numbers. “We are testing over 6000 samples daily now, the highest in the country. So many tests are so that no COVID-19 positive person misses the radar and becomes a super spreader like the case was in South Korea or the doctor case in our own Kurnool,” said Reddy.

Our mantra is “Test-Test-Test,” with the robust tracing of suspects and treatment of the patients,” said Reddy. 

Stating that the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) had on Wednesday evening given a go-ahead for the South Korean rapid testing kits, the health secretary said they would employ the antibody-based testing kits for large scale community testing.

“It is not a definitive test method but is useful for community surveillance.”

Of the 14,423 tests conducted using the rapid testing kits, 11,543 were in the state’s Red Zones and 30 were detected as positive. Those samples are being sent for PCR tests confirmation, said, officials.

A third round of health survey, covering 1.43 crore households out of total 1.47 crore households in the state had identified 32,349 people for COVID-19 tests. 

The state is trying to scale up the daily testing capacity to 17,500 tests, in the coming days. 

Tests are conducted at the nine virus research diagnostic labs set up in the past four weeks, with the first one at SVIMS Tirupati beginning with 90 samples a day. Three more labs are expected to be operational soon.

Ade kada cheppedi, rapid testing lo positive ostene they are further analyzing the sample. Lekapote, they are not. E lekkana AP lo 30k tests should be revaluated. But they are not revaluating these, only positives with rapid testing are revaluated, anduke positive cases anta takkuvaga unnayi.

This test detects antibody production in the body in response to coronavirus. It takes 7-14 days to develop immunity against the virus. In other words, this test is used to measure body's immune response to the virus but not the virus itself. That's why they need to do RT-PCR to detect the presence of the virus more so than detecting the antibodies. Most likely, the people who have the virus won't show positive on the IgG/IgM test for 12-14 days after being infected by the virus. RT-PCR, you can tell from day 1 they are infected. 

Anti body tests ee stage lo  over promise and under deliver

it is more useful to gain more clarity on the spread and deadliness of the virus than finding the patients in my opinion. Jaffa media is already promoting this as an achievement

I think later stages lo to see if sufficient number of patients developed immunity or not ki useful. But it should not be used to for seeing if a patient is infected. Endukante, idi negative oste, they are not doing further tests, when the patient might likely might be infected.

I think cases perigi, curve saturation ayipote antibody test can be used to see who can go back to work or not.
