KOLKATA: A woman from Amdanga in North 24 Parganas succumbed to Covid at the Infectious Diseases & Beleghata General Hospital on Saturday, six days after the state had rec-orded its last Covid death on May 29. The 35-year-old wom-an was on ventilation for 13 days at a nursing home in Bag-uiati before being referred to the ID hospital on June 2.
Before May 29, Bengal had no Covid death for 23 days since May 6 - the longest period without a life lost to the virus since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. Two deaths in six days assumes significance in the wake of a spurt in cases in other states, say doctors.
