India coronavirus: As COVID-19 sweeps the country, experts say cases and deaths are going unreported

Not enough tests India s testing capacity has increased dramatically since the first wave. Around this time last year, the country was testing fewer than half a million people per day â now, they are doing close to 2 million tests a day, said Dr Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist for the World Health Organisation (WHO). But that s still not sufficient because the national average positivity rate is about 15 per cent â in some cities like Delhi it s up to 30 per cent or higher, she said on Monday. That means there are lots of people out there who are infected and not being detected just because of the capacity of testing . we will know only later how many was really the number of people infected.

As COVID-19 sweeps India, experts say cases and deaths are going unreported

April 27, 2021 India, home to the world s worst ongoing coronavirus outbreak, has reported more than 17.6 million cases since the pandemic began last year. Courtesy file photo NEW DELHI India, home to the world s worst ongoing coronavirus outbreak, has reported more than 17.6 million cases since the pandemic began last year. But the real number, experts fear, could be up to 30 times higher meaning more than half a billion cases. Health workers and scientists in India have long warned that COVID-19 infections and related deaths are significantly underreported for several reasons, including poor infrastructure, human error, and low testing levels. Some things have changed since then testing has greatly increased in the wake of the first wave, for instance. But still, the true extent of the second wave now ravaging India is likely much worse than official numbers suggest.
