PUNE: The Khadki Cantonment Board has not recorded a single new Covid case in the last three days. And its main hospital has not had a patient under treatment in six days.
The KCB has reported 1,766 Covid-19 cases so far — 1,700 were discharged, 46 succumbed and 20 are active cases.
“But all active cases are now being treated outside KCB limits,” said Pramod Kumar Singh, chief executive officer of the KCB. He added, “This is a very positive development for us. Our hospital doesn’t have a single Covid case now. Our teams are taking about 25 to 30 samples daily. For the last three days, we haven’t reported a single covid case.”
Singh said precautionary measures continue across the KCB limits. “We have deployed two teams in the Khadki bazaar area for crowd management as per guidelines from the district administration.”
Khadki was one of the worst-hit cantonments of Pune district, reporting at least 50 new daily cases through the months of July and August.
