He added that the testing is now being done by Covid-19 ambulances.
"Ever since they started working, these swabs have been coming in, which means that there may have been those who needed to be tested but did not report to the health system," Dr. Kon said.
He noted that in the future, we will have an increased number of detected patients with mild symptoms.
