PANJIM: Claiming that COVID-19 situation in Goa has gone out of control due to mismanagement and mess created by the BJP government in health sector, the Goa Pradesh Youth Congress (GPYC) president Varad Mardolkar on Wednesday demanded to increase testing facilities across Goa, along with quick testing report.
“Goa requires urgent measures to tackle the COVID as the situation is getting out of control. There is a need to increase testing centres and they should reach every village by means of ‘mobile testing laboratories. If Chief Minister Pramod Sawant does not pay heed to this suggestion, then he himself will be responsible for the future disaster,” Mardolkar said.

The report of testing should be given immediately, so those found positive can start medication. Otherwise delay in medication puts the patients in health problems,” he said.
According to Mardolkar, due to the lackadaisical approach of the BJP government to increase the testing centres, the existing centres are loaded with cases and hence people are forced to come on other days and again stand in a serpentine queue.
“This is the reason people hesitate to come for testing and stay at home despite they have symptoms of COVID”, he added
