West Bengal on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, registered 38 deaths due to COVID-19 infection in the past 24 hours. Even as the case positivity ratio in the State has dropped in the past few days, the high number of deaths is a reason of concern. The State has been recording about 30 deaths over the past few days but on Wednesday it recorded the highest deaths in the third wave of the pandemic.
Kolkata recorded 14 deaths, followed by eight in North 24 Parganas and three each in Howrah and Hooghly districts.
