The UP government on Sunday revised Covid-19 test rates for the private pathology labs. The rate for TrueNat and CBNAAT test will be Rs 2,000 instead of Rs 1,600 announced by the government on September 10. However, the rate for RT-PCR will remain Rs 1,600 as revised three days ago.
The revised order was issued after most of the private labs stopped Covid-19 testing claiming that they cannot conduct tests at the reduced rate because raw material required for the procedures is very costly.
