Bhubaneswar: Odisha struggled against the Covid-19 situation curious, who had confused health experts.
After the peak of 12,852 infections on May 22, the daily case fell sharply to around 3000 on July 1.
Since then, the fall is very slow.
From July 1 to 10, cases dropped to around 2000 per day.
But after that, there was almost no significant decline in the last 10 days due to new cases in Khurda (mostly Bhubaneswar) and Cuttack.
The state added 1927 cases in the last 24 hours, 38% of them came from Khurda (498) and Cuttack (248).
BINOD PATRO, Dean (Research) at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, said it was very difficult to highlight certain reasons about why cases have added to the highlands.
“What I feel is that better reporting now and fresh infections are arrested for aggressive testing, which may be overlooked towards the end of the first wave,” Patro said.
While the decline in new and sustainable cases in other parts of the country, the plateau has been influenced because in Khurda and Cuttack, cases are more or less the same.
Ajay Parida, Director of the Institute of Life Sciences, who has been involved in the sequencing of the Covid virus genome, said there might be various possible reasons.
“Bad Compliance with Covid norms and the possibility of a longer infection from Covid positive people even after they exit the house isolation might be possible reasons.
Maybe Positive Covid people, who stepped out of house isolation after two The week is still spreading the virus.
The same thing reflected in the cuttack and Bhubaneswar because of higher population density in two cities compared to other parts of the country, “Parida said.
Compared to the average population density of the country 270 per square km, the cuttack has 3100 per square and bhubaneswar 2131 per square km.
Original Odisha was drawn by Behera, a retired professor of lung treatment at the Chandigarh Pgimer, said the need for the clock to focus on the fields that reported the high number of cases.
“More stringent sidewalk enforcement in these fields can result in a faster decline in the case,” said Behera
