The rate of Covid-19 (Corona) is on the upswing once again. There is a noticeable trend in WHO Data for the Indian scenario. From 2020 onward, we had a couple of sharp spikes in ‘Daily confirmed case’. The statistics as shared by the Health Ministry department show that Corona is facing an upward trend for the last couple of weeks. Why is this increasing suddenly? Why is the trend going upward in this manner? Well, there is no perfect answer to this. But the health workers and doctors collectively noticed that relaxation in covid appropriate behavior has a lot to do with the upsurge. People tend to loosen up after getting a double shot of the vaccine.
According to updated data from the Union Health Ministry on May 5th, India has reported 3,611 new cases of coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases to 4.49 crore (4,49,64,289). The number of active cases has decreased from 36,244 to 33,232. The death toll has increased to 5,31,642 with 36 new deaths, including nine from Kerala that were reconciled. Currently, active cases represent 0.07% of the total infections, while the national COVID-19 recovery rate has been recorded at 98.74%.
As per the Ministry’s website, the number of individuals who have recovered from the disease has escalated to 4,43,99,415, whereas the case fatality rate has been recorded at 1.18%. Additionally, the nationwide vaccination drive has administered 220.66 crore doses of the Covid vaccine in the country thus far.
As for now, there are no travel restrictions by the health ministry. But it is advisable to wear the mask and take preventive measures keeping the current situation in view. The toll has been rising in the last few weeks. Unlike in 2020 and early 2021, no such announcements of lockdown have been mentioned by the government. It will definitely depend on the numbers and percentage of tolls in the upcoming days.
