Private medical chain Dr Dangs Lab is now offering a drive-through facility to its patients for the testing of COVID-19 virus. The initiative will minimise contact between patients and further stem the spread of the virus. This facility is only available at their West Punjabi Bagh Outlet, in New Delhi.

A prior appointment will be required and one can be made by visiting this page. Patients will come in the drive-thru area in their car, and only need to roll down their window when indicated. They should either be seated in the driver’s seat or the seat behind that. Two tests will be conducted, one a swab of your nasal area and the other from your throat. Collection of blood is not required for COVID-19 testing.
