Nagpur: There was news to cheer for Vidarbha on Tuesday. Despite conducting nearly 50,000 Covid-19 tests, only 8,443 new cases were reported from the region. On the other hand, 14,707 patients recovered from Covid-19. Death toll of all 11 districts reduced to 173, the lowest since April 14.
This development is a strong indicator that the Covid-19 curve is moving downwards. As projected by scientists, decline of the second wave will be faster than its surge. So, we can expect quick dip in new cases and deaths in next one week. While cases from city (municipal corporation area) were very less, cases are still coming from rural areas of Vidarbha and they need special attention now.
