“This has contributed to a significant decrease in the number of total active cases which had dipped to 227 till Monday evening,” a health officer said.
With the twin-city’s active Covid-19 cases going down, the bed occupancy has significantly reduced as the number of available beds has increased.
Of the total 3,131 Covid beds across all private and public healthcare facilities in the twin-city, only 1,486 are currently occupied, as a result the number of vacant beds has jumped to 1,633 (52 per cent).
Apart from availability of 79 ventilators, the vacant beds include 1,040 in the general category, 535 oxygen beds and 58 ICU beds, officials said. While the overall recovery rate has further improved to 92.74 per cent, the bettering figures have ensured that the twin-city’s active cases have come down to 2,227.
However, despite a better recovery, the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) continues to hover above 2.44 % which remains a serious cause for concern for the civic administration as the death toll had mounted to 1,125 till Monday night.
