Kovid sampling continues to decline in UP

Contrary to all the claims, corona testing is not being increased in Uttar Pradesh. In the report on Thursday, once again within 2 lakh samples were sent to the lab for testing. Due to less sampling, there is a decline in the number of patients coming to the state continuously. Meanwhile, the number of recovered patients is increasing and the infection rate is declining.
