P Chidambaram, @PChidambaram_IN – Former Union Finance Minister:

• I welcome ICMR’s new advice to government to do ‘rapid antibody tests” starting in hotspots.
• According to many doctors, this advice was overdue.
• CWC in its resolution pointed out that limited testing was a flawed strategy.
• Epidemiologists have demanded extensive and aggressive testing.
• Let government start aggressive testing today.
• A lockdown will be effective only if we TEST, TEST, DETECT, ISOLATE and TREAT.
• That is the lesson from Japan, South Korea and Singapore.
