Pune Is Now Ground Zero – Burning Issues – Free PDF Download

COVID 19

• As expected, Pune overtook Delhi on Monday to become the city with the largest number of people infected with the novel Coronavirus.
• The city, which had recorded one of the earliest cases of coronavirus infections in the country, now has more than 1.75 lakh people who have been infected at some point.
• Pune has been reporting the largest number of cases every day, between 2,000 and 3,000.

COVID 19

• The city has already been having the highest number of active cases in the last few weeks, indicating that a large proportion of infections have been recent.
• That also shows that the epidemic is still on the ascendant in the city. Pune has more than 50,000 active cases , much more than Mumbai (about 20,000), or Delhi (about 15,000) or Chennai (about 13,000).
• Interestingly, the five cities with the maximum number of infected people account for almost one third of all coronavirus related deaths in the country

COVID 19

•  After five days of more than 75,000 detections of new infections, Monday saw a significant drop in the daily numbers. Less than 70,000 new cases were discovered in the country, and once again this looks like a result of the usual dip in testing numbers on Sunday.
• Almost every state that was reporting very high numbers in the last five days, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi, saw their numbers going down.

COVID 19

• The Assam state has only recently broke through the top ten states with maximum caseloads. On Monday, it discovered more than 3,200 new cases, to take the total number of infections to 1.09 lakh.
•  The state has a surprisingly low death count however. It has reported only 306 coronavirus related deaths so far, giving it a death rate of 0.28 per cent which is the lowest in the country for any major state.
