They say the revised testing guidelines that exempt asymptomatic contacts from tests are suited only for omicron, which is linked to mild disease and rapid spread

A mix of narrower targeted Covid-19 testing, home-based self-testing kits and large cities approaching epidemic peaks might explain falling counts of daily new infections nationwide, doctors and health experts said on Tuesday.

India’s daily count of new Covid-19 infections fell to around 238,000 for the second consecutive day on Tuesday from around 271,000 on Sunday, a 10-fold rise from 27,000 cases on January 1 under the current wave driven by the fast-spreading omicron variant.

The daily new infections diagnosed in Calcutta, Delhi and Mumbai have also declined over the past three to five days, coinciding with revised guidelines from the Indian Council of Medical Research under which asymptomatic contacts of cases need not be tested.

The earlier testing strategy implemented since the start of the pandemic was to test all household and other close contacts and isolate them to curb the spread of the virus.
