The number of COVID-19 infections and deaths in West Bengal continued to register a record high — 89 patients died in the past 24 hours and the number of infections rose to 17,407. Though the number of samples tested remained the same, there is a spike in the deaths. The State recorded 77 deaths on Wednesday and the number of samples tested positive was 17,207. The State is testing about 53,000 samples a day which is creating a huge gap in the number of patients who are required to be tested and who are actually undergoing tests. On Thursday, the number of samples tested in the past 24 hours was 53,724 while the number of samples tested on Wednesday was slightly higher at 54,936.
