JAIPUR: The city reported nine fresh Covid-19 cases on Friday, taking the tally of active cases to 100. The state logged 21 new cases, which took the tally to 174.
However, experts said out of the total infected people, 66% of the patients are fully vaccinated, while 14% of them have received a single dose. Hence, they have very mild symptoms, they said.
Also, presently the hospitalisation of Covid-19 patients has been negligible so far. Doctors associated with Covid care and management, however, urged people to continue following Covid appropriate behaviour and get fully vaccinated.
In Jaipur, the hospitalisation is almost nil, and experts attributed it to the vaccination.
With nine fresh cases, the number of active cases is now 100 in the city. “Majority of the patients are getting treated at their homes by following prescriptions and tests suggested by their consultant doctors,” said Dr Sudhir Bhandari, principal and controller, SMS medical college.
Meanwhile, experts said vaccination had saved many, who recently contracted the virus.
“We have found that out of the total Covid-19 positive people, 66 % are fully vaccinated, while 14 % have received a single dose. So far people are with the mild symptoms, thus hospitalisation is presently negligible,” said Vaibhav Galriya, principal secretary, health department.
“We have got patients of Influenza-like Illness (ILI) at the RUHS, but the number of patients admitted for Covid-19 is almost zero,” Galriya added.
He added that people, who are yet to get jabbed, should go for it as it had been showing good results.
A total of 21 cases were detected in the state out of which Jaipur reported 9 cases, Ajmer 2, Alwar 2, Nagaur 2, Rajsamand 2, and one case each came from Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, and Udaipur.
Now, the number of active cases in the state is 174. “A fortnight ago, the number of active cases was merely 40, which has increased, but the severity is so far not much. Still, people should continue following Covid appropriate behaviour and those who are yet to get vaccinated, should go for it,” said an officer with the health department.
