COVID cases fall in Telangana, doctors question data

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The count of daily Covid cases has dropped considerably in the state but doctors say it is deceptive as a number of people are testing themselves at home via home kits or are not getting tested at all. Dr Sravani Reddy Karumuru, consultant general physician at Renova Hospitals, said the number of Covid cases being reported had reduced because a lot of people were testing themselves using home kits, and these results were not recorded on the government’s database. He said while cases had indeed reduced, as the viral infections were more prevalent than Covid, the drop in numbers was not as much as the official numbers indicated. Paediatrician Dr Sivaranjani Santosh said it was high time the data compiled and provided by the government is presented in terms of morbidity and mortality, instead of sheer numbers.
