Kolkata: Covid’s position in Bengal has decreased for nine consecutive days and was dipped in 11.1% on Saturday, the lowest in the third wave.
On Saturday, the number of tests carried out in the last 24 hours – 82,564 – had become the highest during the entire pandemic.
Even so, only 9,191 new cases reported.
Only 37 out of Friday, which has around 10,000 less tests.
Health experts are sure the level of infection will get slower in the state, but say we need to see how conditions in the district for the next seven days.
“If the district also sees a steep decline over the next seven days, it will be the beginning of the end of this wave,” said Professor Operation Ipgmer Diplipadra Sarkar.
The Cumulative Positivity of the State has been fired to as high as 37% on January 10, where Kolkata has reported almost 70% of participants.
Now, even as weekly partnership for the city between January 14 and 20, according to family health and well-being, is 39.4%, the laboratory throughout Kolkata reports the participation between 25% and 30%.
Between 7 and January 16, Kolkata’s weekly partnership is 59%.
“The positivity shows the severity of the transmission.
This is a good sign, showing the level of transmission down.
At the same time, we need to reduce mortality and investigate whether it is Covid comorbidity while increasing the test.
If we can reduce the mortality, we will see things.
Which is brighter in two to three weeks, “said Senior Doctor Sukuar Mukherjee, a member of the Bengal Global Advisory Board for Covid-19.
While the laboratory installed with the hospital still has a level of progress that drove around 30% to 35%, a stand-alone laboratory reported a much lower level.
“The level of pepositives has now dropped to around 25% in our laboratory throughout the city.
Naturally natural for laboratories installed in hospitals to have relatively higher participants because we tend to get a large number of samples from patients without symptoms for several purposes, including travel , “said Somnath Chatterjee, MD Surakha Diagnostic.
Constant climbing down at the level of prospective starts from January 14.
On Saturday, Kolkata recorded 1,489 new cases – only 114 to Friday.
Experts said the increase was not significant compared to the increasing number of tests.
“The decline in the level of infection is satisfactory for public health doctors, but there are several worrying points.
Cases, and death, now come from rural parts and this must be a point of attention.
People with mild symptoms will not be used.
So the real picture of Covid infection may not be reflected In total.
We need to be vigilant and must observe for two more weeks, “said Anirban Public Health Specialist.
In fact, positive weekly – wise, Malda has taken over Kolkata with a little margin this week.
County, such as Birbhum, Darjeeling and Kalimpong, also continues to have multiple participants above 30%.
With seven days have passed since the church in Mela Gangasagar, health experts felt the chances of confusing numbers from the meeting now low.
“This is thanks to intervention and filtering that focuses on state administration before allowing pilgrims to continue.
Extra and careful steps may give us positive results,” said Sarkar.
