As India's Covid-19 tally sees a surge owing to the Omicron-driven third wave, the central government is focussing on testing all symptomatic people to arrest the spread of the virus.
In view of this, a portal by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) that will let you access your RT-PCR testing history since the beginning of the Covid pandemic may come handy for many of us.
The portal – https://report.icmr.org.in/dash.php – stores all RT-PCR test reports registered against a person's phone number at one place.
To check the test history, a user will have to click on the above-mentioned link. A webpage will open which will require you the user to type their phone number that was given to the authorities at the time of testing.
Following this, an OTP will be sent on the registered number.
Once the OTP is entered, the user's details will be visible on the screen. A blue button that says “History" will be on the right-hand side.
Once the user clicks on it, another webpage with the history of the RT-PCR tests taken by the user will open.
One can download any of the reports from this page.
