The last one week was the first time that the number of people recovering from Covid19 disease in Pune has been greater than the new infections being discovered.
In the week between July 31 to August 6, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) areas saw the recovery of 9,668 patients, while 8,600 new infections were discovered.
There were five days in the week when the recoveries outnumbered new cases.
PMC monitors weekly data ending every Thursday.
It this trend holds on for at least two weeks at a stretch, it could signal a slowdown in the spread of the disease, and even raise hopes that a decline could be approaching.
Amongst the states, only Delhi has shown this trend consistently over a long period, almost a month now.
For Pune, however, these are early days.
But the last week has surely seen the number of active cases going down.
The city has been witnessing a jump in the number of active cases since the outbreak but the trend started slowing down from the previous week with an increase of only 1,162 between July 24 and 30 as against 6,409 between July 17 and 23.
As per the report, the number of active cases came down by 1,240 by the end of this week.
