While the number of fresh cases remained relatively high in Maharashtra and Gujarat, where the virus has been spreading for a few weeks now, the rate of growth had slowed down in the past week in Gujarat while staying steady in Maharashtra. Infections continued to rise at a steady rate in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, while showing a decline in Telangana and the beginnings of a surge in Andhra Pradesh.
Kerala, with nearly 4,000 fresh cases in the past week, up three-fold from 1,333, displaced Maharashtra as the state reporting the highest cases in the country. Maharashtra’s tally stood at 3,323, up 70% from the previous seven days’ total of 1,956, when the state registered a 68% increase. With 2,412 new cases, Gujarat stayed among the top three states but the rate of rise in cases had slowed to 53% from 139% in the previous week. While Himachal Pradesh reported a three-fold increase in cases, Delhi logged 1,733 fresh infections in the past week, a 2.5x rise from the previous period count of 681. While the numbers in other states were relatively low, Punjab reported a 3.3x surge in cases, Haryana 3x and U.5x.
This was the seventh straight week of increasing cases in the country and all key parameters have risen in the past week, indicating that the surge may be far from over yet. The all-India seven-day test positivity rate (TPR) – the percentage of samples testing positive for the virus – had risen to 2.3% by Saturday, up from around 1.4% a week back. Similarly, the number of active cases was over 18,300, having nearly doubled from last Saturday’s count of 9,400.
