Panaji: During the past two weeks, the Covid-19 Cave chart seems to have added 40-250 cases, but the state can see an increase in August-September.
It may not be substantial considering that most of the population will be vaccinated at that time, provided that no severe variant has emerged.
“It seems that our case has a plated somewhere between 150 to 250 cases a day.
Personally, if you ask me, even I wait for these numbers to get down,” said the Epidemiology of the State Dr.
Utkarsh Betodkar.
Although the cases are low now, it is expected that in August and September there will be several activities in terms of increasing cases.
“It is difficult to say at this point to what extent the increase in cases that we might see.
If people have not been vaccinated, I will say, the increase will be significant.
But because our vaccination runs very well, the potential for increasing in cases may not be high, but it shouldn’t exist New severe variant, “Betodakar said.
He said it was not an easy task to predict what would be a scenario if there was another new variant.
So far, of a total of 120 samples tested to find out the Covid variant – since the beginning of the second wave – 109 has Delta tensions, ten kappa and alpha.
The good part is, he said, the country does a large number of tests every day.
On average, 4,000 to 5,000 tests are carried out every day, including 1,000-1,500 at the border checkpoint.
The level of part of the state of the state has dropped below 5% over the past week “We did not carry out unnecessary tests.
We cover the target population even at the border checkpoint,” he said.
Mandatory for travelers who come to Goa that they come with a Covid negative certificate or tested at the border checkpoint.
Although places such as Margao, Ponda, Cortalim and Ponda have seen a gradual increase in cases in the past few days, he said, perhaps because many members in positive family testing.
“Suppose, ten members in a positive family test, the calculation of cases of all areas up.
Although the increase in visible areas in certain areas can be ignored.
UPS and the bottom that is noticed in the weekly average is very minimal,” he said.
It is recommended that weekly average is calculated than the daily number.
If an unusual increase in pay attention will be taken to the government’s notification, he said.
The next wave might be if the new variant appears, say Goa experts
