Active Covid cases in Ahd fall below 1,000-mark

AHMEDABAD: After nearly 101 days, the total number of active cases in the city came down to three digits (988 cases) on Friday.
Even the number of daily cases in the city fell to below 30.
On Friday, the city recorded 27 cases and one death.
The number of patients discharged stood at 85.
A senior AMC official said that it was in mid-March that the city recorded less than 1,000 active cases.
Thereafter, there was an increase in cases.
On May 3, the city had over 65,000 active cases.
The officials said, “With a drop in daily count, there’s been a drop in active cases too over the past 52 days.
If the city continues to report less than 50 daily cases, the number of total cases is likely to fall below 500 in the first week of July.” AMC officials said it now remains to be seen how Covid-19 cases shape in the days to come.
The number of tests conducted in the city too have gone down and hence it was clear that the citya has seen a sharp decline.
They said that most cases in the second wave were reported from the western part of the city while the initially outbreak was in the eastern part, which includes the walled city area, central zone and even areas falling under the south zone.
The officials added, “Even now, most of the active cases are in western part of the city.
About 65% of the 988 Covid active cases are in west Ahmedabad.
The remaining have mainly been reported from areas like Maninagar, Danilimda, Behrampura, Vatva and Isanpur in south zone.” Thaltej, Gota, Bodakdev, and Chandkheda in the north west zone and Jodhpur, Vejalpur and Bopal in south west zone account for the highest number of cases.
Navrangpura, Paldi, Vasna, Naranpura, Ranip, and Vadaj in west zone also have a high number of active cases.
