Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Thursday said the state government would conduct antigen tests which would give the results of the Covid-19 test in one hour instead of twenty-four hours. Tope told reporters that one lakh antigen detection devices would be made available in the state soon.

Purchase orders have been placed, he said. On the advance front, the investigation of essential service personnel, health personnel, police and others fighting against Covid-19 will be given priority.

The state government has also decided to test rapid antibodies whose devices are being supplied by a South Korean company. Tope said it would make it easier to know if a person was infected with the corona virus.
