CHANDIGARH: As the country braces for a possible Covid-19 fourth wave in the coming months, Himachal Pradesh seems to have dropped its guard if the number of tests conducted in the hill state is an indicator.
While the central government has been emphasising on continuing the five-fold strategy of -- Test, track, treat, vaccination and Covid-appropriate behaviour --to prevent the resurgence of cases -- the hill state has conducted just 15,355 tests from April 1-10, making it 1,535 tests per day on average.
