Going with the current number, the conversion rate at a private hospital is more than a government hospital.
While private hospitals recorded a 2.13% conversion rate as on Tuesday, the Covid Hospital government was less than 1% – 0.84%.
About 95% of active cases are in quarantine houses and conversion rates at the secondary line care center and first-line care centers are also under 1% in the district.

The conversion rate for ventilators is the lowest; 0.07%.

The remaining people are parents with comorbidity.
Health officials who care for such patients say that they have serious diseases and other covids appear as additional infections.
One possible challenge for the district where the conversion rate for hospitalization is very low even after three weeks into the third wave is that parents with co-morbidities can be a prey of the omicron variant.

The probability of these people fell ill in the third wave higher.
The next two weeks will be very important in terms of death of all causes.
At present, our biggest challenge is saving the lives of categories This is what we have managed to protect in the first two waves, “said a health official.
The low level of hospitalization in the first three weeks of the wave despite active cases above 45,000 mainly due to the way in which the pattern of infection remains in highland mode in the district for months posting the second wave.
“Many people get infection after the second wave or towards the end of the FAG from the second wave.
This has resulted in them to get neutralizing antibodies that can give them the closing of the immune to the serious nature of infection.
Also the high level of vaccination can cause hybrid immunity.
Therefore, all trends.
This should not be misinterpreted due to calm.
The next two weeks will be very important for this district, “added health officials.
The fact that many people choose home care and independent testing with confidence that vaccination can give them protective cover also relieves the burden on hospital infrastructure.
Pending arrivals, carrying dead cases, death on the way is the possibility of a health team interested in avoiding any cost now.
