Numbers Down, Guard Up: Delhi, Mumbai's Fight Against Covid Complacency

News 18  

Once gasping for breath as a torrid second wave of Covid-19 tore through them, Delhi and Mumbai have shown a massive turnaround. While 85% of hospital beds earlier reserved for Covid-19 patients are now empty, Delhi’s positivity rate has dropped below one per cent and it reported one death. The plan drawn up by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority is divided into four colour-coded levels based on positivity rate, cumulative number of new cases and average oxygenated bed occupancy. The yellow alert will be sounded when the positivity rate crosses 0.5 per cent or new cases increase to 1,500 or oxygenated bed occupancy reaches 500. The next level of alert, amber, will come into force if the positivity rate rises above one per cent or new cases number 3,500 or oxygenated bed occupancy reach 700.
