No of cases may be less as India’s testing rate too little to get the real COVID-19 picture

India has conducted 18 tests per million of its people.

So, how low is India’s testing rate? Italy, which has recorded 80,589 cases, had performed 3,24,445 tests as on March 25, at a rate of 5,268 tests per million of the population. The UK has performed 97,019 tests till the same date at a rate of 1,469 tests per million people. The UK has 11,658 positive cases of coronavirus. South Korea, which is credited to have managed a sharp rise in cases had performed 3,57,896 tests at a rate of 6,931 tests per million people till March 25.

The United States, which has emerged as the new epicentre of those affected by the virus and the third most populated country in the world, has tested citizens at a rate of 1,280 per million of its population.

“We need to quickly expand testing. Only then can we know the true burden of the infection in the country. We seem to be now trying to deny that the problem is big. But we still don’t know the true size of the infection,” Jain added, according to The Telegraph report.
