High-burden states
Delhi: The national capital reported 61 deaths and 2,442 fresh cases in the last 24 hours. While the slight fall in numbers has raised hopes of a “peak” having been crossed, experts say it may be too early to rejoice.
Gujarat: The state continues to top the mortality rate in the country. In the last 24 hours, 21 deaths were reported, besides 675 fresh cases.
Maharashtra: Numbers continue to look bleak in this high-burden state, with 5,537 new cases and 69 deaths having been reported in the last 24 hours.
Tamil Nadu: The state reported 3,882 cases and 63 deaths in the last 24 hours. The mortality rate currently stands at 1.3%.
Tests and positive cases
Both the testing and fresh cases remain low for Gujarat among the four high-burden states. Delhi’s testing numbers look impressive but it did more antigen than RT-PCR tests in the last 24 hours.
