Covid-19 Shows A Decreasing Trend In GHMC

After a long time, there has been a dip in the COVID-19 curve for the city of Hyderabad as the curve is expected to drop by September, senior health officials.

This has been only possible after the government’s immense efforts to conduct aggressive testing, treating moderate and severe cases at the right time to avoid fatalities and spreading awareness among the general public on Covid-19 precautions.

“There are clear signs that in areas under GHMC, the positive cases are decreasing while the numbers have increased in districts”, the minister said.

He also said that they have been very aggressive with testing strategies. Also, In August month alone, they conducted close to 5 lakh COVID tests. The ramping up of the tests has come at the right time and hopefully by September ending, it should be possible to control COVID in the entire State.

“The decision to focus on critical patients by enhancing our critical care capabilities has paid off. Out fatality rate is 0.7 percent while the country average is 1.85 percent. The recovery rate in TS is 78 percent while the national average is 75 percent. All these factors are showing results in the form of fewer cases and fatalities,” he said.
