They argue that an outbreak can be said to be slowing down only when the number of new cataract cases without a similar decrease in the number of daily tests that are performed.

In Gujarat, for example, reported a huge increase in the weekend despite the fact that they appear to be slower than the previous week. The government of the state is attributed to the increased mass of the unit tests in Ahmedabad. The CASE: study says inadequate testing can result in an underestimation of the work load. Between the charge states, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh have been the least effective in the search of evidence, and contacts, the study says.

Among the ten states with the most active cases, the case fatality rates are the highest in West Bengal (8.4%), Gujarat (5.9%), and Madhya Pradesh (4.7%).
