Kolkata: Spike Covid remains lower than the recording nail on January 9 but still has 21,098 new cases in Bengal and 6,565 in Kolkata.
The level of participants also showed a slight decline but remained at 33.3% with 65,210 tests in a broad status, with a quick antigen test that contributed around 47% of the total amount.
Covid fatality stood in 19 in Bengal, including six in Kolkata, on Tuesday.

New cases tend to fall further because the number of tests is expected to go down again after the revised ICMR test guide.

The level of participants on Monday remains high at 37.3%.
