The number of coronavirus patients is on the rise in the country and medical experts from India are trying their best to help curb the spread of the virus through various methods. Healh experts from Indore has claimed to have developed a new model of pool test. In a research paper published by Aditi Singhal it is been said that in this technique two parts of each sample should be taken. One part should be kept safe and the other mixed with all the samples in that area. Now samples of the mixture should be examined. If this test report comes positive then the patient can be reached easily by checking the samples kept separately one by one. If the mix sample report becomes negative then the scope of investigation will be limited. The research paper according to reports have been sent to Indian Council of Medical research for approval.According to the research paper, this technique can be applied only in the PCR machine. In this, a questionnaire on the population being collected by an app like 'Arogya Setu' or a list of international and interstate travel history or samples of people exposed to positive patients can be collected with the help of Telecom Service Provider. This will put us in less number of kits and it will be easier to test more people. This process will be effective in those areas where the infection is less or there are more infected areas. Meanwhile, there are quite a few benefits associated with this as it declines community spread. More importantly it increases the time of the speed test by 3 to 4 times. On the other hand India's Covid-19 patient count has crossed the 12,000 mark, an the death toll is at 414. The govt has identified 170 districts as hotspots, where the lockdown will be enforced more strictly.Pooling Test ProcedureTake 500 to 600 samples of quarantined population from a regression area and divide it into 10 groups based on criteria like age, symptoms, addictions, lifestyle diseases. Add samples of the respective range into a single test tube according to the classification and apply RT-PCR test on the mixed sample resulting in the result. You get 3-4 groups positive and 6-7 groups negative discard the later negative samples and divide 3-4 samples. Further test them on the severity of symptoms, sex, etc in 5 -10 groups and test them individually. This gives you the factual data of the infected person along with the factual data of the unaffected communty. The above is a method of pooling test explained on the basis of mathematical concept for mass screening of COVID-19 which increases test capacity 3 to 4 times.
