Hospitalisation rate not going up despite increase in infections
The Health department expects that COVID-19 cases in Ernakulam may show a decline by February 15.
An assessment by the district health wing based on the hospitalisation rate and the overall pandemic scenario stated that the dip in cases may start by February 10. The hospitalisation rate has not gone up in the last one week despite an increase in the number of cases, it said.
Dr. Sajith John, District Programme Manager, National Health Mission, said that hospital admissions have not increased in the district. “Moreover, the discharge of patients admitted is happening in maximum three days as most of them have only mild symptoms like fever or fatigue,” he said.
