Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): The number of covid-19 patients living in home isolation in Delhi declined by about 750 on Tuesday as compared to the previous days. This is the highest decline in these cases in the last one month.
However, the number of containment zones continued to increase on Tuesday and the number increased to 1,937. On Monday, cases of home isolation increased to 19,213, while the number of containment zones was 1,889.
According to official data released by the Delhi Health Department, the number of people living in home isolation declined to 18,464 on Tuesday. Since the last week of August, there has been a steady increase in the number of home isolation and containment zones. Only on 19 September, a slight decline was seen in the number of people living in home isolation.
Experts believe that home isolation has been very effective in managing epidemics in the city. Experts believe that there may be two reasons for the reduction in this number. Dr. BL Sherwal, Medical Director of Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital told that one of the reasons could be that people are recovering by staying in home isolation at their home and other patients at home in Covid care centers Being transferred, but, in my opinion, the first reason is a big factor.
Asked if the situation in Delhi was likely to improve after the increase in cases in September, the doctor said that we would have to wait for a week or at least see it. It is too early to say anything.
A rapid increase was seen in COVID-19 cases earlier this month. On September 16, a record 4,473 cases were reported, the highest ever in a single day. On September 9, 4,000 cases were reported in Delhi for the first time, while the number of people who lost their lives that day was 20.
According to official figures, more than 4,000 new cases have been registered per day from 9 to 19 September, while on 14 September the figure was 3,229 and 26 people died.
