PANAJI: On Tuesday, the cere cave’s front level dropped down to 13.8% from 26.4% the day before.
The country recorded 592 cases while 4,261 tests were carried out during the day.
“Today we have a realistic picture.
On Monday, the level of participants increased to 26% because fewer tests were carried out on Sundays only because only those who were single to be tested,” said Dr.
Ira Almeida, Director of Health Services.
Also, all health centers are still closed on Sundays, he said.
Almeida said they were trying to test every patient who visited the district hospital for any reason.
Dr.
Utkarsh Betodkar, a state epidemiologist, said, “this year, the average daily test will be around 3,500-4,000 and more.” On Tuesday, the composition of RT-PCR and fast tests 76% and 24% respectively, but if the level of progress increases further, the test that will be faster will be carried out.
Almeida said the third wave of pandemics began in Goa from December 28.
A week before, the state has witnessed a sustainable increase, while the infection doubled 24 hours before December 28.
Until Tuesday, Goa had five cases of omicron variants with four.
Reported on Monday.
Replying to query, Almeida said one of four cases, a local man, also has a history of travel.
“He had been to Kolhapur, and he was under our watch,” he said.
However, he said, they must check more cases before stating that the Omicron variant has spread to the public.
The first omicron case of the local ID, four are international travelers.
Dr.
Rajendra Borkar, the country’s immunization officer, said that even though the Omicron variant was lighter, it spread faster.
“In a pandemic, we cannot jump into a conclusion in one or two days.” Almeida said, people had to refrain from visiting a big meeting, preferably held in closed places.
“We have noticed many cases related to marriage.
Although some events are held outdoors, pre and post-wedding functions are in a closed bag,” he said.
While the Heath service is questionable why it can’t stop crowding, and delays in issuing restrictions, Borrowy says they can only advise individuals.
“Everyone must take care of himself, and that’s the way the community will be protected,” he said.
It was also shown that not only tourist attractions were crowded, but all government functions were happening in full swing and political function and demonstration also did not stop.
Borrowkar said, Director of Health Services was one of the members of the Expert Committee.
“The advice of the director is that people should not participate in political demonstrations,” he added.
