The number of people who have so far recovered after contracting coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in the country crossed 20,000 on Sunday, with a recovery rate of 31.2%, or about one in three patients, even as the number of Sars-CoV-2 infections crossed 67,000.
Studies have shown that after recovery, worldwide, until now 35% of all patients have recovered, almost all people develop antibodies, which could provide protection against infection. Public health experts have warned against stigmatizing patients with Covid-19, even when research shows that approximately 80% of all patients worldwide develop mild or no symptoms.
Of the 67,085In Covid-19 cases, at least 44,000 patients are receiving treatment at various hospitals across the country. In the last 24 hours, 1,736people were confirmed as recovered, the biggest jump so far, even up to 4,370New infections were added to the national account, the highest peak in a single day. The recovery rate on April 10 was 10.3%, improving to 31.2% in one month.
“The recovery rate shows that almost a third of infected people have recovered in India. It is a positive sign as it increases day by day, ”said Lav Agarwal, joint secretary of the Union health ministry, recently.
However, the rate of increase of Covid-19 cases in the country increased in the last week, with a doubling rate, which stood at 11.5 on May 3, decreasing to 10.6on Sunday. The last 10,000 cases of the infection, which has stopped life on all continents, came in just three days in India.
The ratio of the number of Covid-19 cases that recover to the number of people who die from viral infection has shown improvement. Data collected from the official state gazettes shows that the ratio is 9: 1: for every 10 deaths, 90 people have recovered from the disease. In mid-April, the ratio was 8: 2.
“The increase in the recovery rate will go hand in hand with the increase in the number of cases for a time. This is because Covid-19 is a new infection and will spread until the population gains immunity against the virus. Now, as to how many people will be infected before there is collective immunity, estimates range from 30% of the population to 70%. The reason for a high recovery rate is that between 90% and 95% of infections are mild or moderately symptomatic or asymptomatic, ”said Dr. Jugal Kishore, head of the community medicine department at Safdarjung Hospital.
“What the high recovery rate shows is that the infection is not very fatal in the Indian population; we are able to manage the infection and the treatment protocols are working,” he added.
Experts say the implementation of a full national blockade has yielded results in the form of a significant improvement in India’s case duplication rate. While the number stood at 3.4 days before the restrictions were applied, it rose to 11.5 on May 3. However, it dropped to 10.6, indicating an increase in infections. On average, India has reported 3,500new cases every day for the last week.
Of the states that have reported more than 1,000 cases, the highest recovery rate is found in Telangana, where 62.8% of patients are now Covid-19 free. This is followed by Rajasthan, where more than 58% of the infected have recovered, and Andhra Pradesh, where almost 46.7% has recovered.
Kerala’s battle with respiratory illness has been promising. Only 20 people out of a total of 512 cases so far are designated as active infections. The state has reported only three deaths so far.
Maharashtra, which has the highest number of cases, 22,171, has one of the lowest recovery rates of 18.9% in the country.
Tamil Nadu and Delhi have managed to keep the death toll low despite an increase in cases initially related to the Nizamuddin meeting of the Jamaigh Tablighi. Delhi’s recovery rate of 29.9% is similar to the national figure.
On Sunday, Delhi recorded 381 new cases, bringing the total count to 6,923.
A third of Rajasthan’s 33 districts now have none or up to two active cases. According to data from the state health department, two districts have zero active cases, five have one each and two have two active cases each. Two districts, Bundi and Sriganganagar, have not reported any cases since the outbreak in Rajasthan in the last week of March.
Urban hot spots across the country remain the biggest challenge in India’s battle against the disease, which had overwhelmed healthcare infrastructure in all countries, including many metropolises, including across the developed world.
Maharashtra, Delhi and Gujarat are the three states most affected by the disease. On Sunday, Maharashtra reported 1,943 cases, while the national capital added 381 cases. In Gujarat, which asked Dr. Randeep Guleria, director of the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to fly to the state to help manage the disease, on Sunday the virus infected 398 people. .
The number of tests performed to detect patients with the new disease was 1.6 million on Sunday, as the government indicated it intended to increase its testing capacity to 100,000 diagnoses per day. The development came after experts expressed concern about the low number of tests and the limited scope, which they say could lead to the disease spreading undetected.
