NEW COVID-19 CASES IN WEST BENGAL 2,000 NEW CASES IN THE STATE HAS BEEN REPORTED

In West Bengal, 2,000 fresh cases have been reported from the last two months. The number of cases is going up to ten times in West Bengal. The main reason for the huge numbers of COVID-19 cases is the election rallies and the gatherings of the people. 

Anirban Dalui (the public health specialist) said to Times of India at Swathya Bhawa: "This year, 209 new cases were reported on March 4. One month later, the state had 1,927 cases on April 4. So it took just one month for daily cases to rise by 10 times." 

On the topic of lockdown, many health professionals are showing concerns about the people who are not taking proper COVID-19 safeguard. 

Anirban Dalui added: "If we take all sort of corrective measures right now, restrictions we could soon see daily cases rising to 6,000 to 7,000 cases by April-end." 

The microbiologist of Peerless Hospital (Bhaskar Narayan Chaudhuri) stated as per Times of India: "Last year, the lockdown had mechanically reduced/delayed the transmissibility of the virus while people were afraid and took to Covid-19 preventive protocols stringently. Aggravating the situation is the new mutants and the election rallies."

Fast vaccination to the people is the only way to deal with this pandemic time.

Diptendra Sarkar (the professor of surgery in the hospital SSKM) said as per Times Of India: "The speed of vaccination is crucial at this juncture. Now with the 45 plus (workforce) included in the inoculation program and the daily number of vaccination hitting above 30 lakh in about 10 weeks, about 30 crore people should have some protection. If this vaccination speed jumps up further, we will hopefully reach a baseline by July end."
