Rise In Delhi Containment Zones Due To Community Transmission, Say Experts
With over 150 containment zones in the national capital as on Friday, there seems to be no let-up in the spread of the contagion. Doctor Shuchin Bajaj of the Internal Medicine department at Delhi’s Ujala Cygnus Orthocare Hospital, said, “As we are currently in stage 3 of coronavirus pandemic, community transmission is deeply entrenched now.
So if one house gets an index case, there is a big chance of a lot of people getting infected in that area. Therefore, the government has decided to increase the containment zones with proper sanitization and social distancing guidelines inside them.”
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan in a video conference with Delhi government officials on Thursday said that while the average testing per million population in Delhi was 2018, some districts such as north east were conducting 517 tests per million population and south east 506 tests per million population, numbers which were far below the number of tests required.
While Delhi’s positivity rate last week was 25.7 per cent, several districts reported figures above 38 per cent. This Harsh Vardhan said indicates poor infection prevention and control practices in health care settings.
According to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, a rise in Delhi’s positivity rate from 25.7 percent last week to 38 percent in several districts this week is an indicator of poor infection prevention strategy.
