Three more positive cases have been reported in Rajkot's Jungleshwar and two in Bhavnagar. So far a total of 3791 patients have been registered and 434 patients have been discharged while the death toll has reached 181. After a long struggle, the Gujarat government has finally stopped testing with the Rapid Kit. The use of Rapid Test Kit has been discontinued after testing 8900 in the state. Most of the patients tested negative from the kit ordered from China. The central government had decided to stop the testing due to inconclusive results. It is to be noted that in many districts of Gujarat, tests have been done with Rapid Kit and those districts were declared Corona Free. This has left the government and the health department in a quandary.
