At present, there are 2,917 containment zones in the city.
On Sunday, the city saw 4,033 new cases of Covid-19, highest single-day tally since December 2020. The positivity rate was recorded at 4.64% while 21 people died due to the infection during the day.
“To prevent the spread of the virus, micro-containment zones are being created in areas with more than two cases. The government is taking appropriate measures to contain the virus with the most significant one by boosting of the daily testing capacity. Around 80,000-90,000 tests are being done each day. Moreover, among the infected patients, asymptomatic, and mildly symptomatic patients are being home isolated, and moderate to severe cases are being isolated and treated in the hospitals. Genome tracing is also being carried out and about 30 people are being traced for the coronavirus infection,” said Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Monday.
