“But for the past month, the figure of the patient received floated around 10-20.
The triage area also looked at 1-2 cases,” he said.
“Sustainable drive vaccination is one of the factors behind the reduced cases and even reduces mortality.” In private hospitals, the cases were zero for the past three days.
