New Delhi:

The main health research organization, the ICMR, has advised states to conduct a serological survey to assess the proportion of the population, including asymptomatic individuals, exposed to coronavirus infection.

A serological survey involves testing the blood serum of a group of individuals for the presence of antibodies to this infection to find out who has been infected in the past and who is now cured.

Depending on the level of HIV prevalence, appropriate public health interventions may be planned and implemented for the prevention and control of the disease, said the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR).

The health research organization has suggested that blood serum samples from high-risk or vulnerable populations such as health care workers, front-line workers, immunocompromised individuals, individuals in containment areas, police, among others, should be tested for COVID-19 antibodies.

The ICMR is simultaneously conducting a serological survey to estimate the prevalence of community transmission of the infection in the Indian population.

People from 70 districts will be randomly tested for COVID-19 to see if they have developed antibodies to the infection even if they remain asymptomatic, said an ICMR official.

“The results could be released by the end of next weekend,” he said.

In its advice to states, the ICMR stated that periodic serological surveys are useful in guiding policy makers and stressed that the IgG ELISA test should be used to conduct these surveys.

Antibodies generally begin to appear after two weeks of infection onset, once the individual has recovered, and last for several months.

“Therefore, the IgG test is not useful for detecting an acute infection but indicates an episode of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the past.

“The PCR test is considered as a reference reference test for the clinical diagnosis of COVID19. The test is only useful when it is carried out in the acute stage of infection (<7 days). For several viral infections , antibody tests are useful for detecting the disease after 5-7 days of illness, "the body said in a statement.

In order to decide on the future course of action against the pandemic, the ICMR has communicated a detailed plan to all States to measure exposure to coronaviruses in the general population as well as in high-risk populations.

“Such a serological survey will guide an appropriate public health intervention,” he said.

ICMR has listed immunocompromised patients such as people living with HIV, patients on immunosuppressive therapy, SARI, dialysis patients among others and individuals in containment and buffer zones and health workers are taken into consideration for the test.

Security personnel, police personnel and volunteers involved in tasks that a large number of people face or come into contact with potentially infected people, fomites or places should be tested for the presence of antibodies against coronavirus infection.

The ICMR also suggested testing press journalists, migrant workers who returned from urban and peri-urban areas to rural, tribal and hard-to-reach areas of the country, as well as indigenous people after being in contact with return migrants, industrial workers or labor, farmers, vendors visiting large markets, municipal staff working in areas such as sanitation, water supply, electricity, etc. . where interactions with citizens are expected.

Drivers of hospital ambulances, hearses, buses, cars, taxis, etc. who worked on large numbers of people, bus drivers, cleaners and support staff should also be included, he said.

People working in banks, couriers, telecommunications offices, shops, airline staff, all members of overseas operations, and people staying or working in very densely populated slums with poorly ventilated buildings, those staying in institutions such as retirement homes, orphanages, asylums, homeless shelters, inns and prisons should be considered for testing.

The serological survey would be carried out using an ELISA IgG kit.

Scientists at the ICMR-National Institute of Virology, Pune have developed and validated an indigenous IgG ELISA test for the detection of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.

The test underwent intense three-step validation and was found to have high sensitivity and specificity, according to the ICMR.

To speed up production and increase the availability of the IgG ELISA test, the ICMR has transferred this technology to many pharmaceutical companies such as Zydus Cadila, J Mitra and Company, Meril Diagnostics, Voxtur Bio, Trivitron Healthcare, Karwah Enterprises, Avecon Healthcare, etc. .

The technology has been transferred to various entities without an exclusivity clause and can therefore be shared with others depending on demand and capacity, said the health research organization.
