It has restricted the criteria for testing close contacts and said that the asymptomatic close contacts will only be tested if they have comorbidity.

Expert, Dr. Col. Vijay Dutta of the Internal Medicine Department of the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, Delhi, told IANS that an increased number of testing and unlock 1 are the most important factors responsible for the spike in the cases here. “The sudden spike is happening due to the number of testing that has increased and now the markets are open, it will go further.”
