The West Bengal government on Sunday alleges that the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Disease provide detective coronavirus test kits. That leads to inconclusive results and delays the diagnosis of the disease. The ICMR-NICED authorities on Monday clarifies on the matter. ICMR deputy director Raman Gangakhedkar says it could be possibly because the kits have not been standardized. Kits need to be stored below the 20-degree temperature.
