The quantity of situations of coronavirus infection continues to rise as India recorded 23,285 situations, the highest in about 78 days, in a single day on Thursday. What is worrying is that the recovery price has dropped to 96.86 per cent. And this is why lockdowns are creating a comeback. Maharashtra has currently announced lockdown in Nagpur City and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has stated that stricter lockdown will be enforced to include the spread of COVID-19. Not only Maharashtra, some other states like Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Gujarat continue to report a higher quantity of fresh coronavirus situations. According to the Union Health Ministry information, at least eight states are displaying an upward trajectory as far as fresh situations are concerned.
The only silver lining amid this rise in COVID-19 situations, in certain Maharashtra, is that no new strains have been detected. However, Dr VK Paul, Member (overall health), Niti Aayog stated that the government is “very worried” about the prevailing circumstance in the state.
Why COVID-19 Cases Are Rising?
While so far no precise bring about of the surge is identified, the government feels that Covid-inappropriate behaviour can be blamed for it. The Centre lately stated that ‘lack of fear for the coronavirus and pandemic fatigue’ could be top to a sudden spurt in the quantity of coronavirus infections in Maharashtra.
The surge in the quantity of situations in other states is not incredibly surprising thinking about there have been hardly any travel restrictions in spot. People are freely travelling from one state to yet another. Despite the rise in the quantity of COVID-19 situations in Maharashtra, most states are not creating screening for the infection mandatory for passengers coming from the state. So the rise in COVID-19 situations in other states could be straight connected to Maharashtra.
It is only lately that Tamil Nadu created e-pass mandatory for overseas and domestic passengers. People travelling from other states, except Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and the neighbouring Puducherry, will be permitted entry in the southern state only if they will have an e-pass.
While so far Maharashtra has been a bring about of concern, the sudden spike in Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat has absolutely set off alarm bells.
