West Bengal coronavirus outbreak worsens, testing remains low

Live Mint  

The spread of the coronavirus in West Bengal intensified in the second week after Durga Puja, even as the state’s testing rate remained dismal. Ten of the 14 districts in the southern state saw confirmed cases jump over 10% within a week, data from howindialives.com shows. The positivity rate in Delhi and Kerala are high even though they have been among the most proactive in testing, data from covid19india.org showed. West Bengal, too, reported an increase in positivity rate, implying the outbreak might worsen if testing is not ramped up.
