Over the past 50 days, the city’s pandemic situation has changed drastically with no death being reported since June 30.
While a committee of experts constituted under the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) has warned of an imminent third wave which could peak around October and sought better medical preparedness for children who might be at similar risk as adults, the health department officials said people should remain alert and continue following Covid appropriate behaviour.
“The city has not reported Covid deaths for quite some time but the third wave may emerge any time. Covid appropriate behavior and vaccination is important to keep the third wave away,” said a senior health department official.
While talking about the preparation for Covid, health minister Raghu Sharma said, “I have visited three districts in the state and reviewed the preparations for the third wave. More such visits are planned in the coming days.”
Currently, the pandemic situation seems to be under control in the state with just seven persons testing positive for the virus in the state on Monday taking its overall tally to 9,54,030. Districts which reported new cases are Jaipur (4) and one case each was reported from Alwar, Bikaner and Jhalawar.
