The state is battling against Covid and its hospitals are almost full, especially in Jaipur and Jodhpur. But, in the last two to three days, the state witnessed significant reduction in active cases due to sharp increase in recovered cases.
In just two days, 53,899 persons defeated Covid in the state, which has brought down the number of active cases further to 1,76,363. However, the state is continuously reporting deaths above 150. As many as 157 persons lost their lives to Covid-19 taking the state’s toll to 6,934.
“More than 150 deaths are being reported daily, which is a concern for us. It could be due to late detection of cases. Now, we are strengthening measures for early detection by introducing antigen test, which gives immediate result. Early detection will ensure timely treatment in rural areas and it will help us bringing down number of deaths,” said Sharma.
