Prague Two-thirds of people who, according to life studies during the last month’s pandemic, were in personal contact with infected covid-19 or had typical symptoms of the disease were not tested. Of the respondents, 14 percent of the people had contact and signs, only five percentage points were tested, said sociologist Daniel Prokop on Twitter, his research agency PAQ Research.

In the survey, the answers to the usual two and three weeks of the same group of more than 2200 respondents. It collects data about my contact, types of their activities, testing and possible symptoms of the disease.
Thirteen percent of people have been in personal contact with infection in the last month or had typical symptoms of covis, such as loss of taste and taste. Only five percentage points, ie the aunt of them, were tested in the last month, wrote Prokop. But it doesn’t have to be about people who were sent to the test by a hygiene or practitioner, and they didn’t go for it.
For researchers, contact means a personal meeting in less than five minutes. Hygienists consider it 15 minutes at a distance of less than two meters, so the role is played by the use of hand and respirator.
I mainly do not call hygiene, I am instructed by work instructions. Let the people test me |
According to Prokop, the ratio of tested people to those with high-risk encounters was the worst arrest in June, when there were about one-hundred of them. Then it increases a bit, but below we can probably see the name of the epidemic. So what the answer is not more than twenty percent positive test, he said.

According to him, let people who do not work have the opportunity to test everything, they have the opportunity to work from home or fields such as IT, finance and the state administration. It sits with the thesis that one of the demotivacs to test is a workout, he added. The employee is concerned about the loss of income, the employer is concerned about the loss of employment.
According to Mlad fronta Dnes, in the second week of June, 19,753 people did not drink for the test, who were sent there to practice medicine and hygiene. The test was 134,520 that week. Of the seven tested, there was about one who did not take the test.

According to Prokop, it is important to motivate people positively, for example by exchanging a 60% salary for people in isolation and by quarantine and refund employers. According to him, the problem should be solved, because in some regions the people have a long way to go for tests.
The survey in the framework of the life-long pandemic research project, in which, in addition to PAQ Research, the IDEA AntiCovid initiative and the NMS agency involved 2,200 and 2,600 of the same respondents, who are contacted once every two and three weeks. The aim is to monitor the development of social breeding since the end of the pandemic and how related problems affect their lives. The research is representative of the R population, but only respondents with an Internet connection are involved.
