The daily positivity rate has increased slightly to 19.59 per cent, while the weekly positivity rate is now 17.75 per cent.
The daily Covid positive cases are expected to spike anytime soon and could continue to last for a week or 10 days before the development of infections stop, the latest study by mathematicians from the renowned SUTRA consortium, on Sunday said. The researchers from the SUTRA consortium, who had rightly projected that hospitalisations during the third wave will be less severe as compared to the Delta variant’s second wave, have repeated that there was no need for people to panic.
With the administration of more than 22 lakh Doses (22,35,267) vaccine doses in the last 24 hours, India’s COVID-19 vaccination coverage has exceeded 163.84 Cr (1,63,84,39,207) as per provisional reports till 7 am today.
