Summary:
Despite conducting more than the average number of tests in the country the UT positivity rate stands tall at 7.6 per cent only behind Maharashtra. Health experts have flagged the concern over the rising positivity rate despite a greater number of tests being conducted in the city. Even at that time the city's positivity rate was the second highest in the country next to Maharashtra. The Nehru Hospital has attended to close to 3000 Covid patients. There is a need to prevent this second wave with the help of testing tracking and treating Covid patients.”.
