CHANDIGARH: From February till date, 40 Covid deaths have been reported. While some states have reported no deaths for a while, there is no such gap in the city. Public health experts feel that the city has a greater population of the elderly, which is why mortality has been high here.
“When the third wave started by the end of December, daily deaths were being reported. As the numbers declined after the peak, deaths decreased, but continued,” said a public health expert.
