&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nearly nine months after it started testing samples for COVID-19, Tamil Nadu on Sunday hit the milestone of one crore tests using RT-PCR kits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tamil Nadu is the only State which goes entirely by RT-PCR testing. With laboratories in all districts, the State&amp;rsquo;s capacity is over one lakh tests per day,&amp;rdquo; Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;With 73,012 samples having been tested in the last 24 hours, the number of RT-PCR tests done so far stands at 1,00,29,222.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;P.

It easily accounts for the highest [number of] RT-PCR tests per million population among the major States. Still, we need to continue maintaining the aggressive testing strategy to mitigate any probable surge in the winter months.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to data available with the Health Department, as of October 31, Tamil Nadu accounted for the second-highest number of samples tested in the country next only to Uttar Pradesh, where a total of 1,48,63,388 samples had been tested. However in Uttar Pradesh, rapid antigen tests were done in significant proportions. Maharashtra came third, having tested 89,06,826 samples.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Tamil Nadu&amp;rsquo;s test positivity rate, as of October 31, was 7.28%, placing the State seventh in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
