Testing May Be Low But India Keeping Good Eye On Virus: WHO Envoy

WHO envoy David Nabarro told NDTV that India may not be testing as much as other countries but still has a good eye on where the coronavirus is. "The testing rate may be lower than the other countries but there is a very important statistic and that is the percentage of positive tests that are being found. In India, it has been about 4 to 6 per cent in most locations and that is good because it means that although you are not testing as much as other countries are, you are still testing in a way keeping a very good eye on where the virus is. This doubling time and numbers, where you go from 100 to a higher number, is slower in India than the US and UK - another very good sign," he said.
