NEW DELHI: As the Delhi government on Friday issued the latest Covid health bulletin, it was revealed that with the onset of the third wave of the pandemic, the Capital had recorded 29 deaths in the first week of this year — more than the number of deaths reported in the four months before it combined. According to official figures, the city had reported five deaths from the virus in September (2021), four in October, seven in November and nine in December.
The dramatic rise in the death toll came even as experts here called for the authorities to declare which variant of the virus these deceased patients had been infected with. According to the latest figures, the number of active cases in the city is now nearly 40,000 and even as efforts are made to significantly increase testing, the daily positivity rate shot up to 17.73 per cent.
