Owing to speedy recovery of Covid patients in Dhanbad, the active cases are decreasing in number and it came down to below the 690 mark on Friday.

Explaining the reason for lesser detection of cases compared to recovery rates of covid patients, Dr AK Singh, state president of Indian Medical Association said, Tthe main reason for drop in active covid cases due to lesser rate of newly detected cases compared to recovered cases is intensive vaccination as majority of the people are immunized against Covid 19.”

“Apart from admitted patients of hospitals recovering large number of people who are on home isolation are recovering in three four days,” said Singh but cautioned against any laxity in this regard as all vaccinated persons will have follow all covid related protocols in strictest sense to ensure their safety and also the safety of their family members.

“I have myself taken the booster dose but observing all covid related protocols in the strictest sense as any laxity can prove to be fatal” said Singh and added that more than 15 lakh eligible persons out of total 19.5 lakh in the district have already taken the first dose of vaccine," he added.
