Indian States now Report spurt in COVID cases |
With a big surge in cases in Indian states which did not report high numbers earlier, the Union government has dispatched high-level teams to Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh to help them tackle the spread of the disease. While fresh cases of coronavirus infections continue to decline, or remain stagnant, in the worst-affected states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and even Himachal Pradesh has been seeing a significant rise in active cases. Uttar Pradesh is the only one in the top 10 states with the highest caseloads to have seen an increase in its active cases in the last two weeks. The state has only a nominal rise of less than 500. While Delhi and Kerala continue to report the maximum number of new cases every day, even these two seem to have left their peaks behind and are now witnessing a decline in their active cases. States like Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and even Himachal Pradesh is still reporting far fewer cases than Maharashtra, or some other top 10 states, but it is much more than what they were reporting earlier. The biggest rise in active cases in the last two weeks has come in Rajasthan – an increase of more than 5,600, followed by Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
