Despite the massive campaign to create awareness about Covid, the people are still neglecting the disease. Several persons, identified as Covid positive, are found to be furnishing fake or wrong information about their personal details. This is making their tracking down very difficult.
According to GHMC authorities, many persons, who have tested positive, are being registered in the official records but are being asked to be in home quarantine. But, it was found that many are giving their addresses and phone numbers deliberately wrong. As a result, tracking them down has become nearly impossible. Thus these positive persons are roaming in the society freely and are infecting many more. According to GHMC authorities, everyday over 700 cases are being registered. But, at least 20 persons per day are scooting away by giving wrong information about themselves.
Worse still, many have even switched off their phones on knowing that they are Corona positive. This is dangerous situation. Tracking down over 300 persons at large is very difficult task, admitted a GHMC health official. The GHMC has formed a special cell to track down such runaway patients.
