Headline: Covid surge: Delhi labs ramp up infra, hire staff as more people get tested
Dr Shivali Ahlawat, Oncquest Laboratories Ltd said, “We already have two well equipped molecular labs in Delhi-NCR and have been performing Covid testing from the beginning of the pandemic.”
So equipment and infrastructure are already in place, while reagents and consumables have been stocked up according to requirement, she said.
Talking on increasing employees, she said that trained manpower from Covid teams were adjusted in various departments earlier.
“But now, they have been mobilised back into the Covid team. In addition to internal transfers, few new hirings have been done. For safety of the employees all necessary Covid-appropriate precautions and behaviour are being enforced,” Ahlawat said.
