The recovery rate has also improved, officials said (Representative)
New Delhi:
The doubling rate of COVID-19 cases in India fell to 6.2 days over the past week, compared to the three days prior to the imposition of the blockade last month, the government said today, adding that There was a 40 percent decrease in the growth of new cases. The decrease is a result of increased testing, including that of patients with SARI (severe acute respiratory illness) and ILI (influenza-like illness), the government added.
The doubling rate of COVID-19 cases in India fell to 6.2 days over the past week, compared to the three days prior to the imposition of the blockade last month, the government said today, adding that There was a 40 percent decrease in the growth of new cases.
“Before closing, the COVID19 case duplication rate was approximately three days, but based on data from the past seven days, the case duplication rate is now 6.2 days,” Lav Aggarwal, a reporter, told reporters. high official of the Ministry of Health. daily information
Aggarwal also said the rate, the days it takes to double the number of new coronavirus cases, in 19 states and union territories was even lower than the national average. These include Kerala (which defended a prolonged period of isolation), Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and UP, which are among the most affected states in the country.
“We have witnessed an average growth factor of 1.2 since April 1. (This) stood at 2.1 (average) between March 15 and March 31. Therefore, there is a 40% decrease in the average growth factor even when we increase COVID-19 tests, “said Mr. Aggarawal.
The government also said that recovery rates had improved. The ratio of recovered COVID-19 patients to deaths is 80:20, which is higher than in other countries, added health ministry officials.
“A total of 1,749 people (or 13.06 percent) have been cured. With 1,007 new cases reported in the last 24 hours, the total number of cases in the country reached 13,387. A total of 23 new deaths recorded in the last 24 hours, “added Mr. Aggarwal.
Internal government evaluations had suggested that the number of COVID-19 cases in the country could peak in the first week of May, after which it will decrease. Sources told NDTV that next week could be crucial, a point highlighted by an increase in evidence.
This augmented test will include SARI patients, a senior official told NDTV; Last week, the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research, the nodal government body in this crisis) conducted randomized tests for coronavirus in SARI patients and found that more and more people, with no travel or contact history, are testing positive for COVID-19.
The emphasis on increasing testing for coronavirus patients comes amid criticism from congressional leader Rahul Gandhi, who yesterday warned the government that a blockade alone could not stop the spread of the virus and that testing was needed. aggressive.
“In no way does a blockade defeat the virus. It only helps stop it for a short time. The only way to do this is to increase the tests, “he said, adding that the test levels were” too low. “
ICMR scientist Dr. Raman R Gangakhedkar responded, noting that countries with higher test rates had significantly smaller population sizes and India was currently conducting 24 tests, one of which tested positive. .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s blockade, begun last month and extended until May 3 this week, has also been credited with reducing cases. The center had previously said that if it had not been applied, 8.2 lakh of people could have been infected by April 15.
India has reported more than 13,000 new cases of coronavirus so far, with 437 virus-related deaths. COVID-19 worldwide has infected more than 21.5 lakh and killed 1.44 more.
