Health Minister appeals to the people not to panic, but take precautions
KALABURAGI In an effort to remove the public fear surrounding COVID-19, Minister for Health and Family Welfare K. Sudhakar has said that the death rate had fallen in the second wave of the pandemic as compared to the first wave last year and appealed to the people not to panic, but take precautions. “The COVID-19 death rate in the first wave was 1.3% and now it has fallen to 0.6%. So, people need not worry but need to take precautions as panic and fear tend to increase the death rate. The death rate in Kalaburagi district is slightly higher at 0.69% as compared to the State average. The district administration should optimise the utilisation of manpower and infrastructure to reduce the death rate as well as contain the spread of the pandemic,” he said.
