ICMR Director Balram Bhargava stated ICMR tested 5,000 cases last week and total could be around 15,000. He further added saying that the capacity can increase above 10,000 if the requirement arises. In his advice, he said that unless there are appearing symptoms, there should not be any test but isolation. He said 80% of the people may suffer from cold, cough but 20% who don't recover should be immediately sent to the hospital.
