HYDERABAD: After having dropped to 0.3%, the positivity rate for Covid-19 has increased to 0.67% in the last one week. While officials had previously predicted that cases will see a surge after mid-June, a slight increase has begun, and the upward trend is likely to continue.
Overall the cases have jumped from 25-30 per day a fortnight back to 60-75 per day now. Experts say that it is time to mask up again to cut out the spread. Reacting to the surge in cases, the state government on Saturday instructed health personnels and government hospitals to ramp up vigil and perform tests.
