Posted on 18th May 2021 by rohit kumar

In the last 24 hours, 4482 new infections have been reported in Delhi. At the same time, 265 people died during this period. This figure of deaths raises a hope that now gradually their number will be reduced. It may be known that more than 300 deaths were happening daily for a long time. At the same time, 9403 patients became infection-free.

 

 

Due to the improving conditions in Delhi, the positivity rate has now reached 6.89 percent. Any place in the corona epidemic is considered to be good if the positive rate is five percent or less. In such a situation, if Delhi's infection rate also reaches below 5 percent, then it will be quite a relief.

 

 

However, if we talk about the daily tests, then 65004 tests took place in Delhi in a day. Of these, 43915 RTPCR and 21089 antigen tests were performed. Talking about the test, more than one lakh tests were being done in Delhi at one time, in such a situation, having fewer tests is not a good sign. However, if the decreasing infection rate is the same in more tests, then it would be a good sign.

 

Talking about beds in hospitals in Delhi, there are a total of 24305 beds, out of which 14399 are filled and 9906 are empty.
