As Bengaluru tops the list of COVID-19 positive cases in the state, the BBMP has decided to launch 100% screening and testing of public from containment zones and also the street where people either test positive or display symptoms.
The process of the swab collection was supposed to start from Monday, but due to non-availability of swab KIOSKS, the process will begin from Friday.
The aim is early detection, isolation and symptomatic treatment to stop further spread.
