SMC engages 28 labs for industries

Surat: For labourers engaged in various industries, an alternate system has also been set-up whereby private pathological laboratories have been engaged by SMC for Covid-19 tests through Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Pathology Associations. SMC is giving rapid antigen test kits to such laboratories for testing of labourers engaged in these industries. If a unit wants to get all or few of the labourers tested through these empanelled laboratories, they will have to pay only the operating charges to the laboratories. There is an option for the owners of the industrial units to approach these engaged laboratories for testing of their labours. SMC has engaged 28 such laboratories. TNN
