For Ahmedabad city, it was 29-day lowest daily tally at 2,764, whereas for Surat, it was 37-day lowest.
Mortality however has remained constant for the cities and state at large in the past 10 days.
At 1.17 lakh active cases, it was an 18-day low for the state. Dr Kirit Gadhvi, president of Ahmedabad Medical Association (AMA), said that there is definite dip in the calls the citybased doctors are receiving for the beds, oxygen and medicines. “But there’s still scarcity of the ICU and ventilator beds across the city. It is time to build on the resources. We cannot afford any laxity,” he said.
Dr Bharat Gadhvi, president of Ahmedabad Hospitals and Nursing Homes Association (AHNA), said that the association has written to the Gujarat CM not to extend any relaxations in the current restrictions. “With great efforts we have come out of one of the worst phases of the pandemic. It would sound like the death knell of the healthcare system if the state is again faced with the same burden of daily cases,” he said.
Dr Dhiren Mehta, a citybased physician, said that the daily OPDs at various clinics for the fever and other Covid-19 symptoms have gone down. “However, every fever case should be investigated and treated. We must not let our guards down. Identifying cases quickly and isolating them has remained a sure-shot method to prevent the spread,” he said.
