Can't do PCR for two thousand rupees: Private labs

 

Private lab operators have said that they cannot do PCR for Rs 2,000. On Monday, private labs issued a statement saying they could not test at 2,000.

"As the cost of corona test lab will not be incurred in 2,000 fee prescribed by government, we request government to make arrangements for corona test at the old fee of 4,400," private lab operators said in a statement.

Lab operators did not mention the names and labs in the statement signed by 13 people on the Vinalator head. Government had fixed the PCR fee at Rs 2,000 for the third time on Sunday.
