I Indien registreras nu närmare 100 000 nya bekräftade coronasmittade varje dag, men allt fler frågetecken har rests kring testernas tillförlitlighet. In|India|are registered|now|nearly|new|confirmed|coronavirus infections|every|day|but|all|more|questions|have|been raised|around|the tests'|reliability In India, nearly 100,000 new confirmed COVID-19 cases are now being registered every day, but increasing questions have been raised about the reliability of the tests. Och nu uppmanar landets hälsoministerium att en del prover tas om. And|now|urges|the country's|health ministry|that|some|part|tests|be taken|again And now the country's Ministry of Health is urging that some samples be retaken.

Indien har under coronapandemin kritiserats för att mängden covidtester varit för få, vilket skulle kunna medföra att ett stort antal smittade inte upptäcks. India|has|during|the coronavirus pandemic|been criticized|for|that|the number of|covid tests|had|too|few|which|would|could|result in|that|a|large|number|infected|not|detected India has been criticized during the coronavirus pandemic for the number of covid tests being too few, which could mean that a large number of infected individuals go undetected. Nu genomförs drygt en miljon tester om dagen. Now|are conducted|just over|one|million|tests|per|day Now over a million tests are being conducted daily. Men för att komma upp i testkapacitet har många delstater använt snabba antigen tester istället för de mer tillförlitliga PCR proverna. But|to|to|come|up|in|testing capacity|have|many|states|used|rapid|antigen|tests|instead|for|the|more|reliable|PCR|tests However, to increase testing capacity, many states have used rapid antigen tests instead of the more reliable PCR tests.

Enligt den indiska hälsojournalisten Maitri Porecha som kartlagt testförfarande för nätpublikationen The Kens räkning så har PCR proverna också blivit färre medan de snabba testerna använts i allt högre utsträckning. According to|the|Indian|health journalist|Maitri|Porecha|who|mapped|testing procedure|for|the online publication|The|Kens|account|so|have|PCR|tests|also|become|fewer|while|they|rapid||have been used|in|all|higher|extent According to Indian health journalist Maitri Porecha, who has mapped the testing procedures for the online publication The Ken, the number of PCR tests has also decreased while rapid tests have been used to an increasing extent. 'Detta samtidigt som den ansvariga myndigheten uppgett att de snabbare testernas tillförlitlighet varierar mellan 50 och 84% vilket innebär att människor med negativt provsvar i själva verket kan bära på viruset. This|simultaneously|as|the|responsible|authority|has stated|that|the|faster|tests'|reliability|varies|between|and|which|means|that|people|with|negative|test result|in|actual||can|carry|on|the virus 'This comes at the same time as the responsible authority has stated that the reliability of the rapid tests varies between 50 and 84%, which means that people with a negative test result may actually carry the virus. Hur stor andel av de totala testerna som är snabba antigentester har myndigheterna inte varit transparenta, enligt Maitri Porecha. How|large|proportion|of|the|total||that|are|rapid|antigen tests|have|the authorities|not|been|transparent|according to|Maitri|Porecha The authorities have not been transparent about what proportion of the total tests are rapid antigen tests, according to Maitri Porecha.

Men i dag har Indiens hälsoministerium bett delstaterna att göra om testerna hos de patientgrupper som strax efter ett negativt antigen test uppvisat covid-19 symptom. But|in|day|has|India's|Ministry of Health|asked|the states|to|redo|the|tests|among|the|patient groups|who|shortly|after|a|negative|antigen|test|exhibited|covid-19|symptoms However, today India's Ministry of Health has asked states to retest patient groups who showed COVID-19 symptoms shortly after a negative antigen test. Sjukvården uppmanas då att använda PCR proverna. The healthcare system|is urged|then|to|use|PCR|tests Healthcare is then urged to use the PCR samples.

De senaste dagarna har närmare 100 000 nya bekräftade fall av coronasmitta registrerats per dygn. The|last|days|have|nearly|new|confirmed|cases|of|coronavirus infection|been registered|per|day In recent days, nearly 100,000 new confirmed cases of coronavirus infection have been registered per day. Det innebär att mer än 4,5 miljoner människor konstaterats smittade. It|means|that|more|than|million|people|have been confirmed|infected This means that more than 4.5 million people have been confirmed infected. Fler än tusen döda till följd av covid-19 har också registrerats på daglig basis den senaste tiden. More|than|thousand|deaths|due|consequence|of|covid-19|have|also|been registered|on|daily|basis|the|latest|time More than a thousand deaths due to COVID-19 have also been registered on a daily basis recently. Enligt officiella siffror har hittills 76 000 dött men mörkertalet tros vara stort. According to|official|figures|have|so far|died|but|unreported cases|is believed|to be|large According to official figures, 76,000 have died so far, but the actual number is believed to be much higher.

Samtidigt som fler smittas; också på landsbygden där tillgången till kvalificerad vård är begränsad fortsätter regeringen att öppna fler och fler delar av samhället för att få fart på den hårt drabbade ekonomin. At the same time|as|more|are infected|also|in|the countryside|where|access|to|qualified|care|is|limited|continues|the government|to|open|more|and|more|parts|of|society|in order to|to|get|momentum|on|the|hard|affected|economy At the same time as more people are getting infected; also in rural areas where access to qualified care is limited, the government continues to open more and more parts of society to boost the hard-hit economy.
