Bengaluru: Officials are finding it difficult to trace the patients and their primary contacts  due to the wrong addresses furnished by those coming for Covid-19 test

It is said that nearly 4,500 people have given wrong addresses and are now missing. Every day around 2000 people are testing positive for Covid-19 in Bengaluru

Officials claim that they might have either switched off their mobile phones or would have given wrong contact details and incorrect mobile numbers. This has made it almost impossible for them to trace them

Also, BBMP officials are considering generating a one-time password (OTP) on the registered mobile number at the time of testing which will ensure that they give the right number
