Many people are reluctant to get tested for COVID despite showing symptoms: LocalCircles survey

LocalCircles survey observed that many people were reluctant to get tested for COVID despite showing symptoms.

Nine out of 10 Indians claim to know at least one person in their social network who had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

This, according to a LocalCircles survey, which received more than 9,000 responses from across 208 Indian districts.

A similar survey published in September had highlighted that 77 percent of the respondents knew at least one person who had tested positive with coronavirus.

To discuss the findings of the survey, Shereen Bhan spoke to Sachin Taparia, chairman & CEO of LocalCircles.
