Announcing this while interacting with home isolation patients through video conferencing at the Chief Minister's Secretariat, the Chief Minister said that as early detection and early medication are the keys to flatten the Covid curve, 50,000 RAT kits had been recently distributed to different districts and another 1 lakh kits had been ordered for procurement.

N Biren Singh further stated that the Government is also considering house to house testing in vulnerable areas and containment zones.

He said that around 100 more ICU beds would be added to the current figure within a week.
