New Delhi: India has continued testing more than 6 lakh COVID-19 samples for the second consecutive day.

"The resolve of Union and State/UT Governments to follow aggressive testing as the first important step in the early detection and treatment/home isolation of COVID-19 positive cases has resulted in India rapidly increasing the number of tests done per day," read a government statement.

The graded and evolving response resulted in a testing strategy that steadily widened the testing network in the country.

With 6,19,652 tests conducted in last 24 hours, the cumulative testing as on date has reached 2,14,84,402.

The Tests Per Million has seen a sharp increase to 15568.
