As we all know, Bengaluru is one of the topmost emerging states in the number of covid cases and the test positivity rate amid the third wave of Covid-19, the Omicron and there is a piece of good news amidst this tension.
Even though the state reported almost 25,000 cases last day, according to the latest reports the hospitalization rate is 1.3% overall the active cases that have been reported in the hospital and this is a relief for the state.
The reports also added that the rate is less than 0.5% on the critical cases that have been reported in the hospitals based on the third wave of Covid-19.
According to the health minister of the state, it has been a huge relief in sharing the information with the media amidst the number of cases and the test positivity rate that is scaling up. The number of recoveries shares an equal digit with the number of covid cases present in the city.
The number of deaths count is also very low compared to the first and second wave of the Covid reports.
According to the minister, the first wave hospitalization rate was 30% and the second wave hospitalization rate was 20%. The oxygen cylinders and beds were running out within a blink of an eye, there was no means in accommodating the patients.
The ICU was full and the patients who reported after that was shifted through many hospitals in search of accommodation and compared to that situation, the state is in huge relief with the infection being mild even though the number of covid case and test positivity rate is high, it will come down after a spike.
The government adds that if the public cooperates with the government by following the night curfew and the Covid-19 protocols such as wearing the masks, frequently sanitizing, and maintaining social distancing the cases can be brought down within a short period.
The schools have been closed down and the vaccination has been started for children between the age group of 15-18 from the first week of January the state also started school drives to initiate the process quickly and complete the vaccination thereby ensuring safety to the children.
The state will continue to keep the restrictions till the number of cases and the test positivity rate lowers down and the schools will be opened after the whole children population completes the first dose of vaccination.
