State adds 35,636 new cases tp its COVID tally
Improbable as it may seem, it does look like the growth of the COVID-19 case graph is slowing down in the State, a direct result of the stringent lockdown-like restrictions in the State and the manner in which public is responding to the extraordinary crisis they face. “The case numbers will continue to grow but the growth of the epidemic curve is slowing down, except may be in two or three districts. It effectively means that while the graph will continue to rise, the peak will not be as steep as we thought it is going to be. The control measures and containment efforts and people’s compliance to government’s efforts will have to be continued at a substantially higher measure for the graph to stabilise,” a senior Public Health professional said.More Related News
