Drop in cases: Pvt hospitals start freeing-up Covid units

With a significant drop in Covid positivity rate of the state in the past few days, various private hospitals have started the process of freeing-up their Covid units.

State Health experts had earlier hinted that the daily Covid infection may go down from the end of July.

The experts also opined that Covid surge this time would remain much lower compared to the daily Covid infections, which were registered during the peaks of the third wave. Covid positivity has dropped to around 8 per cent from what stood at around 18 per cent in the previous week.

According to sources, many private hospitals in the city are going to close their Covid units within the next week as occupancy has dropped since mid-July. Millennium Post
