India is constantly working towards increasing the number of Covid-19 tests conducted on a daily basis. As per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), over 2.7 crore tests have been conducted so far. There are over 1,400 labs which are equipped to carry out testing across the country.

The state government attributed this dip in daily testing to public holidays and weather conditions.
