    As I understand only people who are travelling and those who are getting admission in the hospital are doing the PCR test,and the result you are saying is only those people are accounted and reported. I was in Mangalore 2 days back and I have seen 8 out of 10 people are having cough and cold . they say it is common cold no need to check
