Maname Nalam | Episode 46 | Who should get themselves for Covid-19 and why it's important to get tested

Although Coronavirus has been on a steady rise, lots of people refuse to get themselves tested to see if they have contracted the virus. There are many reasons for this, from wanting to avoid facing social stigma, to not being able to afford to stay home for more than a week without earning income to run the family. Some of these troubles may seem reasonable from their perspective. But when we see the bigger picture, not getting oneself tested if they had been in a vulnerable situation causes the nation to go backwards in the fight against this terrible virus by letting it spread further. The issues people face, such as social stigma or financial problems, can be overcome with support from the society. In this episode of Maname Nalam, RJ Zeenath analyses the reasons why people, who have been in a vulnerable situation, hesitate to get themselves tested and emphasizes on the need for testing to flatten the curve and achieve victory against this virus.
