Conclusion and key take-aways:
There is a rampant need to educate people on the importance of self
isolation, if they are showing symptoms of Covid-19. WHO recommends a 14
day self quarantine if there are symptoms that indicate chances of a
positive Covid-19 case.
Testing should be made more accessible, and people should be encouraged
to get tested after consulting a physician if they are showing common
symptoms of Covid-19.
Cost of testing remains a deciding factor in a developing country,
efforts should be directed at reduction in cost of testing.
Daily testing data in India currently stands at 0.11 tests per 1000
people. This is one of the lowest in the world, and there exists a stark
need to rapidly increase the number of tests.
