Abstract :
The World Health Organization (WHO) from the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic had a simple message for the countries around the world: Test- Test-Test (1). The confirmed cases who have been already diagnosed with COVID-19 are being reported daily (2). However, ignoring some basic rules can undermine both financial and medical resources and thus results in the misinterpretation of the test findings. This paper endeavors to first explain the problems with the current reporting status of COVID-19 cases and then continue with some remedial suggestions.
