COVID-19 second wave spreading at faster pace than last year, next four weeks critical, says Centre

Firstpost  

The government has been reiterating that reduced testing, tracking and tracing as well as non-adherence to COVID-appropriate behaviour and large congregations have been the major reasons behind the recent spike in cases An increase in the intensity of the pandemic has led COVID-19 to spread at a faster pace than last year and the next four weeks are very critical, the Centre said on Tuesday as it stressed on people’s participation to control the second wave of the contagion. “Still, in terms of the population size and deaths per million we are doing well and the pandemic is in control.” The government has been reiterating that reduced testing, tracking and tracing as well as non-adherence to COVID-appropriate behaviour and large congregations have been the major reasons behind the recent spike in cases. Detailing the COVID-19 situation in India, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said Chhattisgarh’s Durg is among the top 10 districts with high active COVID cases while seven are in Maharashtra and one in Karnataka. The Union health secretary said the country’s COVID-19 cases per million in India are still among the lowest.
