Why Is India's Coronavirus Testing Rate Among Lowest In World?

The number of coronavirus cases in India reached 109 today, with Maharashtra having the highest number of cases at 32. The Indian government insists there is no community transmission in the country yet and for now India is only testing those with symptoms who also have a history of contact with a Covid-19 affected patient. India currently has one of the lowest testing rates in the world at a time when the World Health Organisation is making a case for aggressive testing by countries to reverse the tide.
