New Delhi: As Delhi sees a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases, a survey has found that the number of people reporting COVID-positive individuals in their close social network in Delhi-NCR has risen by 500% in the last 15 days.
Around 19 per cent of respondents from Delhi-NCR areas said that there are one or more individuals in their close network who contracted COVID in the last 15 days.
The ‘COVID network prevalence’ marks over 500 per cent increase in the last fortnight, stated LocalCircles, the firm that conducted the survey.
Inputs were received from 11,743 residents of Delhi-NCR.
Asked how many individuals (including children) do you have in your close social network (family, friends, neighbours, colleagues) in Delhi-NCR that have had COVID in the last 15 days, 70 per cent of respondents said ‘none in the last 15 days’, 11 per cent said ‘1 or 2’, 8 per cent said ‘3-5’, and 11 per cent ‘couldn’t say’.
A similar question asked by the firm on April 2 had found that only 3 per cent residents had someone in their close social network who were infected with COVID in the last 15 days.
