Even though average daily COVID-19 deaths appear to be under-reported
Odisha, which has been reporting an average of 20 COVID-19 deaths every day has nevertheless started expanding cremation capacity across the State, which indicates an under-reporting of fatalities. Though the State has been adding on an average over 10,000 cases to its daily COVID-19 tally, the daily death toll has remained around 20. According to government data, Khordha district, of which State capital Bhubaneswar is a part, is losing four COVID-19 patients daily. Most of the bodies are cremated at the Satya Nagar crematorium.More Related News
