It has been more than nine months across the world, pandemic Covid-19 entered into our life. Since then we are struggling. As the goal is to identify new cases and contain transmission of virus, testing programmes have to be scaled not just to the size of population, but also the size of the disease spread, both of which are high in many Asian Countries.
Scaling up test is imperative. Tests that are both faster and accurate would obviously be a big help in meeting this goal.
What about Feluda, the indigenous method of testing which is a paper strip method of testing giving accurate, cheap and quick results?
Is Feluda going to be a game changer if the same holds in clinical testing??

When it comes to testing for COVID-19, there are two competing narratives. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/22/840526338/is-the-u-s-testing-enough-for-covid-19-as-debate-rages-on-heres-how-to-know
Some countries that have done extensive testing have positive rates near this 10% benchmark, or lower. South Korea is "testing so many people that only 3% of them are positive," said Rochelle Walensky, an infectious disease specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, during a livestream hosted by the medical journal JAMA.

In Bulgaria we see the same trend. As mentioned previously, no matter how many tests have been done, only 3% of them are positive.

Testing as many as possible is one of the ways to fight Covid-19
Nowadays the testing for COVID19 is not reliable as some hospital doctors keep changes the report of patients from negative to positive for the sake of earning money in a illegal way. Which is not good
The most important thing to think about is the validity of the outcome of the tests. Are the results reflective of the student's actual level/learning?
