Is Delhi Govt endangering lives of people by portraying rosy picture about threat from corona in Delhi?


Is Delhi Govt endangering lives of people by portraying rosy picture about threat from corona, despite real situation to be contrary?

Though as per Delhi govt, cases are dropping but this is also a fact that number of containment zones had reached 732(manifold increase just within two months) few days ago. Also, now, geographical spread of corona virus is all across  Delhi. Everyday cases from some new area are being added. Also, contrary to claim of Delhi govt about online data from all containment zones, fact of the matter is data from at least 20% containment zones are mostly missing.


On top of it, Delhi govt is mostly using rapid antigen testing, which is highly unreliable testing. Through this testing method, you are sure about +ve cases but not sure about -ve cases. If -ve cases are repeated for RT-PCR testing, at least 15%-20% turn positive. Take the case of Bachchan family. Initially,  Aishwarya, Aradhya, Jaya Bachchan were tested -ve after rapid antigen test  but after proper testing(through RT-PCR test) Aishwarya, Aradhya turned positive. 

This kind of false portrayal of corona's picture in Delhi by Delhi Govt is inspiring a false sense of confidence among the people that everything in Delhi is fine now but this kind of complacency might be misleading in reality.


To get the insight of actual situation of corona in Delhi, read the following report, published in outlook recently
