JAIPUR: The Covid-19 recovery rate has taken a dip from 98.5% to 89.3% from February 1 with the state witnessing a sudden spurt in virus infections and deaths related to it. On Monday, 25 persons died in the state, an all-time high for 24 hours.
Earlier, on April 8, the state saw 20 deaths. For the 5th day in a row, the state also set a record single-day spike in Covid cases as 5,771 persons tested positive, taking the overall tally to 3,69,564.
From April 8 to April 12, the state reported 3,526, 3,970, 4,401, 5,105 and 5,771 infections daily, all of them new records.
The state had reported 20 deaths in a single-day six times – November 30; December 3, 5, 6, 8; and April 8. In 12 days of April, 133 persons lost their lives to Covid as the second wave refused to loosen its grip.
With 13.9% jump in 24 hours, active cases touched a new high of 36,441, overtaking the one-day-old record (April 11) of 31,986 cases.
Concerned over rising cases, health minister Raghu Sharma appealed to the people to remain careful and prevent the risk of being infected by the virus.
“Covid has been spreading rapidly for the past few days. Don’t forget to wear the mask while going out of the house. Don’t be part of any crowded place unnecessarily and maintain social distancing,” Sharma said.
Jaipur too recorded its biggest single-day jump of 961 new infections, breaking the earlier peak of 776 cases on April 9.
