National Institute of Virology, Pune has successfully developed the 1st indigenous anti-SARS-CoV-2 human IgG ELISA test kit for antibody detection of #COVID19 .

This robust test will play a critical role in surveillance of proportion of population exposed to #SARSCoV2 infection
This kit was validated at 2 sites in Mumbai & has high sensitivity & accuracy. Besides,it has the advantage of testing 90 samples together in a single run of 2.5 hours, so that healthcare professionals can proceed quickly with necessary next steps on their patients’ triage paths.
#ELISA based testing is easily possible even at district level. The @icmr_niv technology has been transferred to #Zydus #Cadila for mass-scale production.
The Drug Controller General has granted commercial production & marketing permission to Zydus. #COVID19Updates #SARS_CoV_2

These unique features help to alleviate the fear of the virus spread. It has features like Spontaneous, CPAP, Timed, AUTO BIPAP modes with provision to connect Oxygen concentrator or Enrichment unit externally.

In an interview with @IndiaToday, I said India outranks rest of the world as far as statistics of successful combating of #COVID19 go. With only 55K cases, a recovery rate of 30%, 17K cured patients & a mortality rate of 3%, our containment strategies seem to have paid off well!
I said India has,so far,not seen an exponential growth in #COVID19 cases.With a robust integrated disease surveillance system,we have a history of having effectively warded off Ebola & Nipah.I said the world praises India for having eradicated Smallpox & Polio
#IndiaFightsCorona
There's no reason to believe that we're not in full control, I said.Intensive contact tracing & surveillance thro classification into differential zones has been the key to our success.Until a vaccine/cure develops,physical distancing+lockdown is the 'social vaccine' to follow.

कोरोना मरीज़ों व उनके परिजनों से अपील!
देश के कुछ स्थानों पर डॉक्टरों व चिकित्साकर्मियों के साथ दुर्व्यवहार की ख़बरें चिंताजनक हैं।#Covid_19 मरीज़ों व उनके परिजनों से मेरी अपील है कि वे डॉक्टरों व अन्य चिकित्साकर्मियों के काम में बाधा उत्पन्न न करें #COVID19Pandemic @MoHFW_INDIA
हमें यह नहीं भूलना चाहिए कि #coronawarriors अपने निरंतर व निष्ठापूर्ण सेवा कार्य से #Covid_19 को नियंत्रित करने के भरसक प्रयास कर रहे हैं।उनके इस उल्लेखनीय योगदान की पीएम श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी ने भी खुलकर प्रशंसा की है।

@MoHFW_INDIA #COVID19Pandemic #COVID2019
देश के #coronawarriors के परिश्रम के कारण देश में 150 से अधिक #Covid_19 के रोगी स्वस्थ होकर अपने घरों को लौट गए हैं।

वास्तव में हमारे डॉक्टर व चिकित्साकर्मी कठिन परिस्थितियों में एक गंभीर चुनौती से निपटने के जटिल कार्य में जुटे हैं।
