SC Asks Centre to Fix Uniform Charge for COVID-19 Testing across All States

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to set a uniformity price for COVID-19 testing across all states in the country.

Taking note of the differences in COVID-19 testing charges in various states, a bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, S K Kaul and M R Shah, said that there should be uniformity in COVID-19 testing charge in all states.

“In some states, the fee for the test is Rs 2,200 and in some it is Rs 4,500,” the bench said.

The bench added the court would not fix the charges.
