Corona Cases on an Exponential Rise in India with Terrifying Conditions in Delhi, Mumbai and Gurugram, Experts say Fourth Wave Inevitable

After stagnating for a while, the Corona Cases, once again, are on an exponential rise in the country. The number of Corona patients is witnessing a whopping rise in Delhi, Gurugram, and Mumbai. Few health experts have been saying that the fourth wave is inevitable in India, and people should not let their guard down.

Of the total 734 districts in the country, there are 29 such where the weekly positivity rate is more than 5%. That is, according to WHO, the infection in these districts is still uncontrollable. Out of these, the condition is worse in specifically 23 districts, where the positivity rate is more than 10%. Apart from them, there are 8 districts where the positivity rate is more than 20%. Positivity rate is defined as the number of Corona patients being found for every 100 tests.

More than 1 thousand new corona patients were found in the country on Tuesday and Wednesday. Whereas, for the last few days, around 700 to 800 corona cases were coming into the country. This is the first time after the last two months that the number of people recovering from the corona is less than the newly found patients. As of Tuesday, only 1081 people have been cured of Corona.

Corona cases are increasing rapidly once again in Delhi too. Hereafter 2 months the corona positivity rate has gone up to 2.70%. Earlier on February 5, the positivity rate was 2.87. At present, about 100 to 200 new corona patients are being found daily in Delhi. On Wednesday, 299 new cases of the corona were found in Delhi, before that on Tuesday, the report of 202 people came positive. That is, 50% more cases were reported from the previous day.

Corona cases have started increasing in the country's financial capital Mumbai as well. 73 new patients were found in Mumbai on Wednesday. This is the highest since March 17. Experts say that this is an alarming situation for the fourth wave. We need to be very careful.

The third wave in India has been on a steady slope since February and experts believe that the latest wave is over in the country. For this reason, Covid restrictions have been relaxed in India, and strictness regarding masks and social distancing is negligible, but Corona is making a comeback in many developed countries including China. In such a situation, its danger in India also cannot be ruled out. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that the threat of corona is not over yet, and people should take precautions to stay safe.
