However, there has been improvement in the overall test positivity rate of the State.
During past three days, Kailash Chandra Behera, Block Development Officer (BDO) of Ersama in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur district, has received distress calls about COVID-19 cases rising in at least four places in his administrative area. In Gadaharishpur gram panchayat of Ersama where three villages have already been declared as containment zones, 14 out of 20 rapid antigen tests conducted on Saturday turned out to be positive. “More than 100 villagers with COVID-19 symptoms were already under medication in Gadaharishpur, Asia and Garia villages without COVID-19 tests and doctors prescriptions. We conducted 20 antigen tests and 70% of them were infected. Results of RT-PCR tests on 40 others would be known in a day or two,” said Mr. Behera.
