Pune: Covid-19 infection among a large number of people entering the Metropolitan Pune (PMR) area for travel related to short work has caused an increase in active kaseload in the region.
The State Health Department estimates that there are 15,473 active cases in the region.
But the actual number of PMR residents who are undergoing treatment – throughout the house and hospital here (active case) – less than 10,000.
Active Kasel then increases with substantial numbers if the outstation individual is added.
Now, the PMR authority does not include these patients in their active coax because they are not residents of PMR.
But the state government continues to include them in the number of active cases of Pune because they have been tested positive for covid in hospitals and laboratories in the region.
“We currently have 8,972 active Covid patients at PMR that have not recovered from Covid-19.
They underwent treatment both in home-isolation or in hospitals.
The state has set this number at 15,473.
Surplus 6,501 Covid active cases are not residents of PMR,” Additional District Health Officer Abhay Tidke said.
Tidke added, “These are the people who have arrived at Pune for a short visit, both from districts in Maharashtra or other states.
But they develop symptoms and are positively tested for Covid in Pune and are undergoing hospital treatment or within the limits The temporary boundary of accommodation they live in.
“District authorities, even if they do not count these patients in the case of active cases of Pune, continue to care.
“We continue to monitor their health, but do not count it in the calculation of our active case.
But state officials must consider them in the calculation of Pune until their name is transferred correctly to Covid Covid from their districts originating,” Tidke said it was today to clean patient data For an overview of the more accurate kasel, officials said.
Aayush Prasad, CEO Pune Zilla Parishad, said, “We have attracted the attention of state officials with this problem.
And they updated their data.” State Surveillance Pradip Awate said, “We need to make sure there is no duplication in the case of Covid.
The same person’s name Can search in the calculation of the district where he was tested positively while traveling or business and also in the district where they held a permanent residence.
Because Covid-19 has produced a large volume of data, updating it will take time.
“That is the same situation.” Earlier this year and in 2020 too.
A Covid response survey released in May has found that 26% of people who were hospitalized at Pune at the time came from neighboring districts – especially Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Solapur and Ahmednagar.
Officials also confirmed that in September last year, nearly 30% of patients received came from other districts.
“We have patients from all states,” said senior official from the Pune division at that time.
Machifift Coep Hospital in May has more than 700 patients from PMC limits outside earlier this year.
Authorities in all neighboring districts have been asked to improve their medical infrastructure – including ICU beds, oxygen tanks, and personnel – to ensure covid patients, especially those who are critical and with fundamental conditions, receive direct treatment locally.
