Congress general secretary
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday called for transparency over coronavirus
tests being conducted in Uttar Pradesh as hiding data can prove fatal.
Sharing some suggestions
for the Yogi Adityanath government in UP to prevent the spread of COVID-19, she
said it is known the world over that testing is the key to fighting the deadly
disease and it should be scaled up.
"Many people are
expressing concerns over testing in UP. Transparency is a big thing in the
fight against coronavirus. The entire society and the government can together
defeat this epidemic. In this context, I am sharing some suggestions
here," she said in a tweet in Hindi.
"UP has stopped
testing for the past two days and should start testing on a large scale, while
adopting transparency in this regard. Hiding data and the truth can prove
fatal," Priyanka Gandhi said.
The Congress leader also
sought to know how many tests are being conducted at state labs daily.
She said all guidelines
should be followed while doing pool sample testing for coronavirus.
