The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought a response from the Centre and Delhi government on a petition challenging the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)’s advisory barring a repetition of the RT-PCR test on those who tested positive for COVID-19. A Bench of Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh also issued a notice to the ICMR and sought their stand on the petition filed by advocate Karan Ahuja. Mr. Ahuja said he and his parents had tested positive for COVID-19 on April 28 and remained under home isolation for a period of 17 days as per the home isolation guidelines issued by the Delhi government.More Related News
