Delhi government has capped the price of the RT-PCR test by private labs at Rs 800. So far, people had to shell out Rs 2,400 for the Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction test, considered the most accurate worldwide.
Earlier today, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had issued directives to reduce the price of the test. “I have directed that the rates of RT PCR tests be reduced in Delhi. Whereas tests are being conducted free of cost in government establishments, however this will help those who get their tests done in private labs,” Kejriwal wrote on Twitter.
