NAGPUR: Even as Covid-19 cases had been constantly growing for more than a month, authorities as well as treating doctors were not worried as the hospitalization rate was negligible. Even when there were more than 900 active cases in Nagpur district, only 25 patients were in hospitals.
But in the last week, there has been a small but sure spike in hospitalizations in all parts of the region, including Nagpur. Some of the hospitalized patients have turned critical too. At least five of them have died in the last five days. This has worried doctors about the change in the manifestation of Covid-19.
