Adding to the woes of the health department as well as the people in Haryana, fresh cases of the fatal coronavirus continue to surface in the state. In this series, a patient has been declared dead during the fresh wave of the coronavirus on the first day of the new year, resulting in a final tally of 10,780 deceased patients. Notably, it has been a long time since a patient lost his life due to coronavirus in Haryana.
Apart from this, the addition of 2 fresh cases of the deadly coronavirus in Gurugram took Haryana’s final tally to 7 active patients, and in view of the recovery from the disease, 3 patients were discharged. According to official statistics, the cumulative number of patients in Haryana so far is 1,078,998 after the deadly coronavirus entered the state. Out of the total cumulative cases, as many as 1,068,211 patients are recovered/discharged.
After the arrival of a fresh wave of coronavirus in many states, including Kerala and Karnataka, more than a dozen fresh cases were confirmed in Haryana, and as many as 647 samples of suspected patients were collected on Monday with symptoms of the disease and forwarded for further processing. Gurugram occupies the second position in terms of deceased patients due to coronavirus after Hisar district, with 1,188 and 1,036 patients having lost their lives, respectively, due to coronavirus infection, which is a matter of serious concern.
It is worth mentioning that the fatal disease led to untimely deaths of 10,780 patients, excluding the death statistics of migrant laborers. In view of fresh cases of the disease, the health department is coming up with efforts to ensure proper health arrangements. An official said that the department is keeping a close eye on patients with mild symptoms of coronavirus along with sore throat and cough and isolation. It is a noticeable fact that during the first coronavirus wave, the infection spread from Gurugram on a large scale among travelers coming from abroad. In view of the fresh cases, the government has issued instructions making the RTPCR test mandatory for patients suffering from influenza-like disease, ILI, and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI).
