All primary patients and those who have symptoms of mild fever can get their corona tests done. Coronavirus test depends on the data one provides, which will determine if test is needed or not. This is to avoid overcrowding at test centres.

The district administration has already started taking samples at various government hospitals and primary healthcare centres from Friday. Its main objective is to locate and treat the suspected corona patients. Random corona tests of elderly citizens were also launched in Dankaur on Friday.
