The severity of the epidemic can be gauged from the fact that once more new cases were being received from India in the US and Brazil every day and today more cases are being reported in India alone than in the two cases being received in these two countries.
In the case of corona infection, the situation in India is getting worse day by day. The infection is growing rapidly in 16 states of the country including Maharashtra, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. The situation is that every sixth new infection of the world is being found in India. In terms of total patients also, India has overtaken Brazil to the second position. More infected than India are in America only. On the other hand, in Madhya Pradesh's capital Bhopal, it has been announced to impose a complete lockdown as Corona cases increase. The entire lockdown will be imposed in Bhopal from 9 pm to 19 April.
The severity of the epidemic can be gauged from the fact that once more new cases were being received from India in the US and Brazil every day, and today more cases are coming out in India alone than in the two cases being received in these two countries. . If we talk about the last 24 hours, there were 1,68,912 new cases in India, while about 48 thousand new patients were found in America and about 38 thousand new patients in Brazil.
According to the Union Health Ministry, cases of infection are increasing rapidly in Maharashtra, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Bengal. Due to increasing cases in these states, the total number of infected people has exceeded 1.35 crore. The total number of infected is 1.34 crore in Brazil and 3.19 crore in the US.
During this period, 904 more people have also died due to corona infection. This is the largest number of deaths due to the epidemic in one day since October 18, 2020. With this, the figure of the dead has reached 1,70,179. So far, more than 1.21 crore patients have been cured out of the total infected, but the recovery rate of patients has fallen below 90 percent (89.86 percent). However, the good thing is that the death rate is also decreasing and it is currently at 1.26 percent.
Active case exceeded 12 lakhs
Active cases mean active cases have been increasing for 33 consecutive days. At present, the active cases have gone up to 12 lakhs, which is 8.88 percent of the total infected people. In the first wave of the Corona epidemic, the maximum number of active cases in September was 10.17 lakh. Since then, they started declining and on 12 February last year, their number had come down to 1.35 lakhs.
