New Delhi. The corona virus is spreading its wings rapidly in India. The number of people infected with the virus has increased 18 times in the country during the 21-day lockdown. A total of 10363 corona cases have been reported so far in India. Maharashtra and Delhi have the highest number of them. So far no country has been successful in making the corona vaccine.
This is the reason that every country in the world is making people more and more aware to prevent corona. Meanwhile, a survey done in Delhi-NCR has revealed a surprising thing.Surveys were done on how aware people are about Corona in the capital Delhi and its surrounding area. The National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) has claimed that 55 per cent of people are not aware that shortness of breath is also the main symptom of corona. NCAER has done this survey by phone. According to the survey, only 36.4 percent people were able to tell that fever, cold, phlegm and breathing problems are symptoms of Corona virus.
The NCAER selected 1750 people from urban and rural areas of Delhi and NCR from April 3 to 6 and asked them some questions over the phone. In the National Capital Region Corona Virus Telephone Survey (DCVTS), 94.9 percent of the people described the corona virus as highly dangerous.
3.2 percent consider it moderately dangerous. 84.7 percent of people (81.2 percent in rural areas and 88.9 percent in urban areas) reported a symptom of corona virus as fever, while 84.9 percent of people believed that corona virus caused cough. Only 44.6 percent reported that the corona virus may cause breathing problems.55.4 percent people were unaware of it. Only 36.4 percent people could give information about the symptoms of corona. According to NCAER, the second and third phases of this survey will also be completed in April and May. Only its first phase has been released.
