Downfall in Covid cases in Delhi
There was a sigh of relief for Delhites after a significant drop in Covid 19 daily cases has been observed since the last two days. Daily cases count has dropped enormously to 5000 per day which once spiked to 9000. The last few weeks have witnessed appalling and hazardous clouds fluttering over the National Capital due to unexpected rise in corona cases which on November 11 crossed 8000 mark and there was no stagnancy or drip in the curve for a long time. Owing to poisonous pollution and crowded festive season, such a situation arose suddenly with no respite for Delhiites.
On Sunday, Delhi recorded 4906 fresh cases which is less than the cases that came up on Saturday accounting to a figure of 4998. While the city reported 5482 cases on 27 November; 5475 cases a day before that. This declining trend is indicating that the adverse circumstances shrouding the city from a long time are healing slowly. The negative fall in the curve is a sign of positivity for the citizens of Delhi who were caught up in the midst of uncertainty. But still, this meandering trend in corona cases has been observed all around the world where a slight blow is again pushed by a wrecking inflow.
Death toll has dropped to a relative low of 68, which was last observed on November 7 for the city. Recovery rate has been improved by 5%, reconciling with 6325 recoveries in a day. The city currently possesses 5,66,648 total cases, out of which 35,091 are active. The Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal optimistically asserted that the National Capital is ready to wage the battle against this third wave of deadly virus.
In the last 24 hours, 64,186 cases were conducted out of which 7.6% were positive. This is a lowered figure from the average of 8.5% observed in the last week. Concerns were raised on poor health infrastructure and medical amenities in Delhi. Moreover, the city's inability to brave the ripping ravages of the virus.
