Active Covid cases below 1,000 for Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: Active Covid cases in Ahmedabad district, including the city, reached 967 on Tuesday with 11 new cases and discharge of 55 patients in 24 hours. Ahmedabad was the only district with over 1,000 active cases till Monday evening. The death of one patient was one of the lowest since March, said experts.
Meanwhile, the number of hospitalized patients touched an all-time low at 3 for private hospitals whereas Civil Hospital had only 23 patients, the lowest since last April. Medical superintendent Dr J P Modi said that the 1,200-bed hospital has a few Covid wards, but the other wards have started admitting non-Covid patients.
“With a drop in Covid cases, we have also witnessed a declining trend in mucormycosis cases,” said Dr Modi. “Today we have about 95 active patients. At its peak, we used to admit 35 to 40 patients daily. We believe that the drop in cases is directly associated with drop in Covid cases,” he said.
