ICMR

Delhi High Court directed Delhi Govt & ICMR to file affidavit detailing the number persons who had undergone the Rapid Antigen Detection Test (RAT) test and, having turned out to be COVID negative, were made to undergo the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) RT PCR test.

With the world in desperate wait for a vaccine or miracle drug as a cure for Covid-19, the burning question is not where, but when and what does it take to formulate an approved new drug and whether we have the right parameters to conduct such clinical tests

Though the ICMR is aiming for an August 15 deadline, it is a moot question whether a timeline can be issued when different phases and trials have to be done to ensure safety.

While plasma therapy has been touted as a remedy for corona, there can be transfusion reactions or the disease worsening. This includes acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress

“It is most unfortunate that non-COVID-19 patients are being made to wait to undergo test for COVID-19 at labs other than those which are situated within the premises of the hospitals, that are equipped and authorised to conduct the said test," said the bench of Justices Hima Kohli & Subramonium Prasad
