A information on Covid 19 is published daily report by the Department of Government Information after confirmation by the Director General of Health Services.
According to the report, the number of patients receiving treatment in hospitals, the total number of patients discharged from hospitals, the total number of patients currently confirmed, the number of deaths confirmed on that day and the total number of confirmed deaths are divided into several sections.
Unlike at the beginning of the Covid wave, the number of patients hospitalized is now declining, according to the report. In comparison, the number of hospital discharges is on the rise. But people do not accept that these statistics are 100% true. This is because people who die from covid in their area are not included in these statistics. Also, many people who have not yet been hospitalized with Covid infection are still waiting to be taken to the hospital. The most recent incident was reported from the Meegoda area and he has been staying at home with Covid infection for two weeks.
People staying at home infected with covid are not in the statistics they provide.
Covid infected, as well as asymptomatic people are referred to quarantine centers, but these statistics do not. The question then arises as to where all these above patients are recorded.
Recently, the President of the Public Health Inspectors’ Association Upul Rohana had said that there were some discrepancies in the statistics of the 19 Covid patients who are reported daily. He said that there was some evidence that the information was unreliable and that the public was behaving in an unreliable manner with regard to the statistics and that some problematic incidents were being reported in connection with the deaths.
He also warned that the country was not satisfied with the process of transporting new infected people to hospitals and that the situation in the country was very confusing and the situation was very dangerous in the future.
