COVID cases rising in national capital, hospitalisations stagnant, says Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain
Talking to reporters, Jain stated that hospital admissions had stabilised over the previous four days and that cases may decline soon.
FollowThe hospitalisation rate for coronavirus infection in the city has stayed consistent, but the number of cases and the positive rate has increased, according to Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Thursday. The minister stated that the death audit committee, which convened on Wednesday, discovered that most fatalities happened among persons with comorbid disorders.
In the first 12 days of the month, the national capital has already registered 133 fatalities. There had been 54 fatalities in the preceding five months, including nine in December, seven in November, four in October, five in September, and 29 in August. The virus claimed the lives of 76 individuals in Delhi in July.
Talking to reporters, Jain stated that hospital admissions had stabilised over the previous four days and that cases may decline soon. While the number of instances is growing, he said that hospital admissions have not grown in the same proportion. According to him, the constant hospital admission rate indicates that the wave has peaked.
On Wednesday, Delhi recorded 27,561 Covid cases, the second-highest single-day increase since the epidemic began, and 40 fatalities, while the positive rate increased to 26.22 per cent.
According to the Centre, three additional instances of Omicron were recorded in Delhi on Thursday, bringing the total number of patients in the capital with the highly transmissible strain of the coronavirus to 549.
