Coimbatore tops state with 793 fresh Covid-19 cases

COIMBATORE: At 793, the district recorded the highest number of fresh Covid-19 cases in the state on Wednesday.
While the case tally has touched 2,15,051 in the district, 2,05,441 of them have recovered so far.
The recovery rate now stands at 95.5%.
With 1,488 patients getting discharged from various hospitals and Covid care centres on the day, the active Covid-19 cases in the district have come down to 7,654.
The district also logged the highest number of Covid-19 fatalities in the state with 25 patients succumbing to the virus.
The toll now stands at 1,956.
Except for the two people in their 40s, all the other victims were aged between 50 years and 90 years.
Health officers said the number of deaths was in line with the established pattern.
“The number of deaths began rising only two to three weeks after the cases started to spike.
It will fall only three weeks after the fresh cases plateau.
The district is likely to record the highest number of death as long as it reports the highest number of fresh cases,” said an official with the district administration.
Meanwhile, scuffles over vaccination of the 18-44 age group continued in the district.
On Wednesday, scuffles broke out at Alandur government school, where more than 100 people blocked the road demanding tokens for at least the next couple of days.
Some other centres also witnessed commotions.
Covaxin was administered at 107 centres, 64 of them in rural areas, in the district.
