This is either done through a blanket test for all variants of the கொரொனாவைரஸ் (including regular flu) or through a specialised gene-sequencing test that locates the marker for the novel கொரொனாவைரஸ். ## Centers to get tested: ### Andhra Pradesh: Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences, Tirupati Contact number – +91-8772287777 Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh Contact number – +91- 89127 12258 Government Medical College, Anantapur, AP Contact number – +91 85542 49115 ### Andaman & Nicobar Islands: Regional Medical Research Centre, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Contact number – 03192 251158/59 ### Assam Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati Contact number – 03612132751 Regional Medical Research Center, Dibrugarh Contact number – 03732381494 ### Bihar Rajendra Memorial Research Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna Contact number – 06122636651 ### Chandigarh Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh Contact number – 01722747585 ### Chhattisgarh All India Institute Medical Sciences, Raipur Contact number – 07712572240 ### Delhi-NCR All India Institute Medical Sciences, Delhi Contact number – 01126588500 National Centre for Disease Control, Delhi Contact number – 01123913148 ### Gujarat BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad Contact number – 07922680074 M.P.Shah Government Medical College, Jamnagar Contact number – 02882553515 ### Haryana Pt.
