Abstract
Coronavirus (nCovid-19) is an emerging disease causing current pandemic. This pandemic has entered in 187 countries including India. There is emphasis on identification of these cases. So this study was conducted in a Private Medical College of Jaipur to know the status of testing of nCovid-19 cases in its initial stages. It was found that 2065 samples were received 13th.April 2020 to 15th April 2020, results were received from 15th April 2020 to 19th April 2020 with positivity of 3.26% and mean time lag was found 2.9 days with standard deviation of one day. Out of 68 positive cases found in these days majority were in 45-60 years with M:F 1.96. All the positive cases were from Jaipur, out of that 73.5% from Ramganj area. As positivity is quite high and majority of positive cases were from Ramganj area so containment measures should be directed mainly towards this area and as the numbers of samples were of just few days so more studies are suggested with appropriate sampling.
