A person suspected of having the coronavirus disease in Delhi will not have to show a doctor’s prescription to get tested, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on September 8. Kejriwal made the announcement on Twitter after the Delhi high court ruling. Delhi HC ruled that doctor’s prescription is not mandatory for those opting voluntarily for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactio (RT-PCR) test to detect the viral contagion as the fears of a second peak in the city loom large. As per the high court order, people will need to carry Aadhaar card as Delhi address proof and fill a form as prescribed by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for Covid-19 testing. The testing will be done on a trial basis and 2,000 tests would be allowed for the asymptomatic patients out of the total 14,000 RT-PCR tests conducted daily in the city, the court said. ICMR form specifies the category of patient as per the testing guidelines. Trials of 'Sputnik V', Russia's coronavirus vaccine candidate, will be conducted in India, claimed Moscow-based media.
