Intensity of transmission comes down
The Hindu
State logs 22,182 new cases of COVID-19 and 26,563 recoveries
The State logged 22,182 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, when 1,21,486 samples were tested in the past 24 hours.
Now that the intensity of COVID-19 transmission has substantially come down and vaccination coverage has increased, the State has reached a critical point when transmission will continue at a low level in the community, with occasional surges. This has now prompted the authorities to do away with the focus on testing and test positivity rate as an epidemiological indicator of disease transmission.
