Karnataka, West Bengal, and Gujarat have 2–2 districts, while Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu have 1–1 district. Meaning that the most impact of deaths from Corona has taken place in these districts. The central government has asked all states to try to reduce the death rate to less than 1%.

Among these, there are three states where 50% of active cases are there. Active cases have been declining continuously for the past two weeks. This is a good sign.

 

People will be careless if declared peak

The Health Ministry also says that on the scale of WHO, the peak of Corona has arrived in the country, now it is necessary to take precautions to stop the second wave. In the country, the rate of increase in active cases for 14 consecutive days from September 22 to October 5 was below zero. According to WHO standards, the peak was declared on the same basis in all countries of the world. However, the ministry says that people can be negligent if they declare a peak based on data. We need to take more precautions during the festive season.
