Critics say that the actual number of COVID-19 cases may be higher than the reported numbers. This is because fewer COVID-19 tests are being done now compared to earlier years of the pandemic. Many people do not get tested if they have mild symptoms like a cold or fever.
Because of this, many cases may not be reported. Another reason is that people now have better immunity. Many people have already taken COVID-19 vaccines or were infected earlier. Because of this, when they get infected again, the symptoms are often mild. As a result, people may not visit hospitals or testing centres. Due to these reasons, some experts believe that the real number of COVID-19 cases could be higher than the official data. They say people should still remain careful and follow basic health precautions when needed.
