‘State on right track on COVID containment’
The current surge in cases in the post-Onam period was expected but the surge had stayed well below the projected or expected numbers, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Saturday. Though the active cases went up, hospitalisations had not risen significantly and the number of hospitalised patients had remained stable between 30,000 and 33,000 cases. The proportion of people who were hospitalised from among the positive cases had dropped from 5.99% during August 14-20 to 5.23% between August 28 and September 3. He said the State was on the right track as far as COVID containment was concerned and had been reassured of the same by all the national and international health experts with whom he had interacted during an online session recently.More Related News
