As winter months approach and Covid is on the rise, 75% of people haven’t taken a test in the last 3 months

Survey Results

BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM, November 10, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the winter months draw nearer, circumstances of colds, flu and seasonal sicknesses are rising.

Naturally, people are extra inclined to those sorts of sicknesses and infections throughout the colder months, however why are the launched Covid numbers not reflecting this?

Part of this may very well be all the way down to the proven fact that people merely aren’t testing to the similar extent that they have been last winter.

Birmingham-based specialist consultant-led medical clinic, Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services (MUMS), ran a social media analysis survey (pictured in graph beneath) which conveyed that 75% of people haven’t taken a covid test in the last 3 months.

With fewer people testing, a decrease quantity of optimistic covid circumstances are being reported, however why is this?

MUMS has seen that the lower in testing appears to have a direct correlation with the must test to journey or attend occasions coming to an finish.

Stephanie Byrom, director of operations and business growth at MUMS commented that,

‘At MUMS during the pandemic, we opened 7 days a week and recruited treble the staff to meet demand in Covid tests. Since the need to test to travel stopped, we have seen a huge decrease in Covid Testing.’

With journey and the freedom to take action once more being a important incentive for people to get examined, it is smart that now these restrictions have been lifted, people merely aren’t getting examined for Covid to the similar extent as they have been beforehand.

With the push for booster vaccinations last winter and people wanting to ensure they have been protected to go to their prolonged households for Christmas, people have been additionally extra more likely to discover themselves in environments that have been providing lateral movement testing and taking the test as a consequence.

Another seemingly issue is the transfer to dwelling primarily based lateral movement testing kits now not being free for people and households to self-test. As Covid testing is now not free for many people, it’s pure to see a decline in people reporting optimistic test outcomes.

However, regardless of the lower in testing, testing itself is nonetheless being provided in registered centres and clinics. MUMS at present supply non-public speedy antigen testing with similar day, 20-minute outcomes in addition to similar day PCR checks to seek out out if you happen to’re covid optimistic and keep away from passing it on.
