Delhi NCR residents with symptoms are missing from officially reported case figures as they skip taking the Covid test or opt for at-home antigen test.
The survey found that of those who had Covid symptoms in Delhi-NCR in the last 30 days, only 12% took a RT-PCR. The survey was conducted in the past 30 days.
A questionnaire was given to people as part of the survey which received 10,821 responses. While 67 per cent respondents were men, 33 per cent were women, it said in a statement.
Some of the questions in the survey included -- 'In the last one month when you or family members in Delhi-NCR had some symptoms and needed a Covid test (non-travel), and what type of test did you undertake?' In response to this question, none of the respondents said only RT-PCR, it said.
