New Delhi: Fourteen per cent of the people found symptomatic during the Delhi government’s door-to-door survey over the past week were not tested for Covid-19, ThePrint has learnt.
The Delhi government’s door-to-door survey for Covid-19 began Thursday last week. It was supposed to end Wednesday but it has now been extended following requests from some districts.
As the capital grapples with a third Covid wave, the survey has seen officials of its 11 districts fan out across hotspots to gauge the ground situation as well as identify patients who have not been diagnosed.
As part of the survey, those found to have coronavirus symptoms are being asked to take a Covid test. Officials then conduct follow-ups to ensure they have got themselves tested.
Results of the exercise so far were shared by district officials with the Delhi government Wednesday evening. Officials who attended the meeting said 57 lakh people were surveyed during the week, of which 13,516 were found to be symptomatic.
