AHMEDABAD: Even when Gujarat recorded 13 Covid deaths on Wednesday, bringing the state’s number to 103, the data revealed that in 66% of cases, the death reached the positive patient within two days of the test. .
Analysis of 71 Covid death cases recorded through April 19, for which data on admission, testing, and death were available, showed that 66%, or two-thirds of positive cases, saw death within two days. . Of the 47 who died in two days, 13 died the same day they tested positive, 15 died the next day, and 19 died two days later.
On the other hand, there were seven patients who were hospitalized for more than 10 days before succumbing to the infection. A 69-year-old woman from Vadodara died on the 17th after her report was positive. Experts said that in several cases, patient admission is late, and that’s the reason for the early death rate.
“People with symptoms should seek medical help early and not delay their hospitalization once they have the symptom of shortness of breath. Most critically ill patients are late. Early detection and medical help can increase the chances of survival, “said Jayanti Ravi, chief secretary (family health and wellness).
Of the 13 deaths Wednesday, nine were recorded in Ahmedabad alone, while three were from Vadodara and one from Valsad, Ravi said, adding that the state recorded 229 new cases during the day, bringing the positive count to 2,407.
Possibly the only silver lining for the state on Wednesday was the discharge of 40 patients after they completed their treatment fully recovering from the coronavirus.
With these downloads, Gujarat has 179 people who have overcome the virus. The state currently has a recovery rate of 7.4%, Ravi added.
