Detailed explanation-1: -The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India’s apex scientific research organisation and Tata MD, the new healthcare venture from the Tata Group have announced a significant partnership to ramp up the COVID-19 testing capacity across Tier II and III towns as well as rural areas across India.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two common types of COVID-19 diagnostic tests: Molecular tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) tests, which detect genetic material called RNA from the virus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antibody (or serology) tests are used to detect previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 and can aid in the diagnosis of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and in adults (MIS-A)2. Antibody testing does not diagnose current infection.
