The situation has worsened from bad to worse due to the Corona virus epidemic across the country. Health services are beginning to collapse in many states.
If someone is not getting a bed, then some patient is getting lack of oxygen. In the midst of all this, assembly elections are also going on in West Bengal. During the elections, records of Corona have started coming up in Bengal.
The condition of Kolkata, the state capital, has become worse. Here, one out of every two people who are undergoing RT-PCR examination of Corona is found to be positive. At the same time, when it comes to the state level, the corona report of one in four people is coming out positive.
This number is five times higher than the previous month. A month ago, only one person’s report was found positive in 20 Corona investigations.
According to the Times of India report, a doctor from the lab who performed the RT-PCR test says, “Labs in Kolkata and its surrounding areas, which are being tested by Corona, have a positive rate of 45-55% in their tests.”
At the same time, in other cities of the state, this level is around 24 per cent. It was only five per cent a month ago. ”The senior doctor further said that the positivity rate is actually much higher.
There are many people who have mild or no symptoms at all and are infected with corona, but they have not yet been tested. We are not investigating according to need. We should not back down from Corona’s investigation at this time.
Corona testing of 25,766 people took place in Bengal on April 1, in which only 1274 people were found positive. This positivity rate was 4.9 percent. 55,060 people were screened on Saturday, of which a record 14,281 people were found positive.
This rate is 25.9 percent. Microbiologist Bhaskar Narayan Chaudhary of Peerless Hospital said that the reason behind the rapid infection is mutant virus, which is infecting more and more people in a very short time.
Another reason is that among those who have symptoms, only a few people are going to get corona examined.
Positiveness rate rises to 55 percent At the same time, the chairman of another hospital said that the positivity rate in our lab has increased to 50%. The pressure on testing samples is very high. But it is good that people are coming forward to get testing done.
The sooner we can find corona infects and isolate them, the better it will be for us. Another official also said that the positivity rate in his lab has gone up to 55 per cent. Explain that the total number of infected people has increased to 7,28,061 in West Bengal on
Saturday after the maximum number of 14,281 cases of corona virus infection were reported in a single day. After the death of 59 more patients due to infection, the total number of dead has gone up to 10,884.
Assembly elections are going on in West Bengal these days. The Election Commission is conducting elections in eight phases this time.
Voting for the seventh phase will be held on 36 seats tomorrow (Monday). During the West Bengal assembly elections, the leaders of various parties kept organizing rallies continuously.
Although a large number of general public also demanded cancellation of the election rallies, the Election Commission and leaders of parties took decisions on it after more than half the phase of voting had passed.
On Thursday, seven days before the last phase, the Election Commission has banned road shows and vehicle rallies in West Bengal with immediate effect.
Along with the ban, the Election Commission also said that many political party candidates are not following the safety norms in public events. The Election Commission has allowed a maximum of 500 people to attend the election.
The Commission’s decision came a few days ago when the Calcutta High Court expressed its displeasure with the Election Commission over the implementation of the anti-covid-19 rules during the election process.
