Gurugram sees less than 3,000 Covid cases for second straight day, 1 more death

By Sumit Blogs -

GURUGRAM: New Covid cases in the city dropped by 19% in a day from 2,595 on Saturday to 2,102 on Sunday, the second consecutive day that less than 3,000 people have tested positive. The city also reported one more Covid death on Sunday.
The positivity rate went down from 30.8% to 24.5%. As many as 3,079 Covid patients also recuperated on Sunday. The city now has 19,135 active cases, with only 180 patients in hospitals and 18,955 in home isolation. At 19,266, Gurugram had recorded less than 20,000 active cases on January 15 last. Currently, there is no active Omicron case.
A 70-year-old woman admitted to hospital on January 21 due to shortness of breath, body ache and loss of appetite died on Sunday. The patient had a history of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic liver disease and had tested positive for Covid after hospital admission. Doctors said that the patient had been on IV fluids, antibiotics, Remdesevir, non-invasive ventilation and other supportive measures. The patient was later intubated and put on ventilator support but suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday.
In the past 14 days, the city has reported 18 deaths related to Covid — one on January 10, another on January 12, two on January 14, one each on January 15 and 16, and two each on January 17, 19, 20, three on January 21, two on January 22 and one on January 23. Gurugram has reported 945 Covid-linked deaths since the start of the pandemic. In these cases, 627 patients had comorbidities.
With the number of new cases coming down, officials in the health department said this is the plateau phase, and soon, the district will witness a further decline in cases. “It seems like we have achieved the peak, and by next week, we will witness a decline,” said Virender Yadav, the chief medical officer. Till Sunday evening, 8,547 samples had been collected for testing.
Doctors, however, said that more people, even children, may require hospitalisation in the coming days and requested people to be vigilant. “The number of children requiring hospitalisation this wave has been very less-only 1% of the patients in the OPD. Most admissions have been due to comorbidities. But we do expect some hospitalisation later over post-COVID multi-organ dysfunction and multi-inflammatory syndromes,” said Dr Ashutosh Sonia, consultant paediatrics, Manipal Hospital.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
