Margao: Congress has demanded that the State government immediately puts a full stop to the confusions in testing of COVID patients and should not play with the lives of the innocents.
Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar said, “When there are doubts raised on the cause of death of former Congress MLA (late) Jitendra Deshprabhu, now fresh reports are emerging on defects in COVID testing reports of people arriving from other States. This has created fear in the minds of locals.”
Having drawn attention to the anomalies in testing earlier, Girish pointed out that the government itself has now made it public that there are defects in various reports of people who were tested for COVID-19.
He added that the government should clarify how many test are actually conducted in Goa till date with details of the methodology of the test and the final results. He added that there are defects in the numbers of cases reported in the daily bulletin issued by the government issued on COVID.
“After Congress brought it to the notice of the government that only 0.004% testing of the total population had taken place almost after completion of third phase of the lock down, the government has now increased the rate marginally to 0.72%. Till date Goa has tested 10859 people for COVID-19,” Girish stated.
