Panaji, May 23: The Congress has demanded the government to give a clean picture on the number of tests conducted and the methods used for testing and the final results. The party said that there were defects in the details provided in the daily medical bulletin in terms of number of COVID-19 cases reported by the government.

GPCC president, Girish Chodankar said, "Goa government should immediately put a full stop to the confusions in testing of COVID patients and should not play with the lives of the innocents. When there are doubts raised on the cause of death of two-time Congress MLA Jitendra Deshprabhu, now fresh reports are emerging on defects in COVID testing reports of people arriving from other states.

Congress demanded that the health minister, Vishwajit Rane give reasons for suspending the approval of ICMR approved private laboratory for COVID testing.

Chodankar said, "Rane should make it clear whether the Mobilo Diagnostics providing services at GMC are perfect and if there are no defects."
