Delayed testing led to sudden spike in cases in Hyderabad !

Primary contacts were not tested immediately after diagnosis of coronavirus-positive patients

The death of a female COVID-19 patient due to delay in testing has made the State government go back on its decision of not testing all primary contacts of coronavirus patients.

The wife of a COVID-19 patient from P&T Colony, Dilsukhnagar, contracted the infection from the dialysis unit of a corporate hospital. She was not tested initially even as her husband turned positive.

She eventually got sick and died of the infection, after which authorities tested the family members — all 10 tested positive for the virus. Incidentally, a famous film artiste-turned-politician’s son was also among those infected from this family.

This is just one sample case of delayed testing. In fact, what appeared as an unexpected spurt in the number of COVID-19 cases in the GHMC area on Monday, was not all that unexpected for the health authorities. For, their earlier decision to refrain from testing primary contacts without symptoms was the reason behind the sudden spike.

A majority of the 79 positive cases detected on Monday pertained to delayed testing of primary contacts.

For reasons best known to the State government, primary contacts had not been tested immediately after diagnosis of the index cases. Areas such as Saroornagar, Kapra, Jiyaguda, and Secunderabad contributed mainly to the positive cases on Monday, and all of them were primary contacts of the already diagnosed patients.

For instance, in Jiyaguda, 27 persons tested positive in a single day on Monday, and all of them were family members of the existing patients.

Officials under the condition of anonymity said there was a delay of 10 to 20 days in testing primary contacts of all the infected persons, who did not show any COVID symptoms. Primary contacts are immediate family members, and friends who stay in regular contact with the infected persons. “Probably, as the localities were already declared containment zones, a relaxed approach was assumed with regard to testing the primary contacts. After some delay, they were all tested at once, resulting in the spike in numbers on Monday,” an official shared.

Secondary contacts quarantine chestunnaru ani mundu ade cheppina ippudu ade cheptunna..the secondary contacts are being quarantined for 28 days..they are not testing  asymptotic secondary contacts ante and still following the same approach..as and when those contacts are showing symptoms they are being tested. 
 Case numbers will fluctuate but that doesn’t mean government is not doing its part but just employed a different approach in testing. Containment, quarantine, observe and then test(this is only for secondary contacts, primary contacts are being tested irrespective they have symptoms or not)
