“Yes, I have COVID-19, but on the first day of the registration, there was a problem at one of the centres. But knowing my status that I am asymptomatic, I visited only one centre to check on the issue," he said.
He further justified that when he got to the registration centre he did not get in the midst of the people and stood at a distance from the registration officer for clarification.
According to him, it was important for people like him to know their status because whether they liked it or not, they will go into the midst of people.
