Of the 4,000-plus cases, infection has surged more than 2,000 to 7000-plus cases on January 11.
The next two days reported 8,000 cases plus.
Of the 8,000 pluses, Daily Caseload surged to 10,000 but there was no worrying increase.
Bijay Mohapatra, Director of Health Services said in the past four days, there has been no significant leap in everyday case but one week is needed to confirm the trend.
“People may be a little reluctant to come for a test that produces a big leap in 24 hours.
We have opened testing facilities even at the primary health center for the Walk-in exam for villagers.
In the second wave, we only have a mobile van testing.
If people’s reluctance is What keeps a daily increase in the case on the bottom, it will be known in a few more days, “he said.
The country tested 77,120 samples in the last 24 hours enacting the 14.49% test level of test, almost the same as the previous day.
Dr.
Manoj Sahu, a senior gastroenterologist at Sum Hospital, who oversees Covid’s management, said he got many calls from people who complained about the symptoms and ask for medicine.
“When I asked them whether they had done the test, many say no though I always advised them to go for one.
Given the transmission of the new variant, it is logical that the Daily Caseload will improve manifold.
But that hasn’t happened,” observed.
