It has the potential for sampling of 1000-plus people per day at doorsteps of patients especially in rural and semi-urban areas to achieve Mission Fateh Punjab.The CM pointed out that this mobile testing bus is need of the hour and would cover remote and far flung areas so as to ensure that people inhabiting these regions have access to the testing apparatus which is necessary to identify the people infected in order to break the chain of COVID-19 pandemic.
