Kerala has surpassed the national average daily caseload for the first time in two months because of a significant surge in new COVID cases. Even though the country’s daily COVID count has dropped by half in the previous month, the state has consistently registered 11,000 to 13,000 points per day.
Nearly every other state has seen a decrease in daily case count. On July 6 and 7, the state surpassed the 15,000 thresholds for the first time. The state recorded 13,772 new cases on Thursday. The positive test rate was exceptionally high, at 10.83 percent. In a manner, the initial wave never ended in Kerala, according to the research, since the state continued to record 5,000-6,000 cases per day in January 2021, when Maharashtra’s daily total had dropped to 2,000. A similar situation appears to be unfolding right now.
Although Kerala’s new caseload is more significant, the state’s superior control of the epidemic can be linked to the state’s lower death toll. The low fatality ratio of 0.47, compared to the national norm of 1.32, may be due in part to the significant number of cases.
