India Today
Overall, there has been a decrease in case burden but there should be no laxity in the steps we take, government said on Saturday.
Although the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic is stabilising in large parts of the country, there is still a long way to go as the positivity rate is still over 10 per cent in 382 districts, the Centre has said. Addressing a press conference, Niti Aayog member (health) VK Paul noted that India was able to come this far in controlling the pandemic through restrictions on social and economic activities and containment and care measures. "In large parts of the country, the pandemic is stabilising, the positivity rate and active cases are reducing and recovery rate is rising. It is also being seen that an increase is being seen in other states so this is a mixed picture but overall there has been a decrease in case burden but we have a long way to go to handle this wave and we also have to ensure that there should be no laxity in the steps we take," he said.More Related News
