BHOPAL: Not even a single Covid-19 positive case has been reported from 36 districts or 69% of Madhya Pradesh in the past 15 days.
Around 133 new Covid-19 positive cases have been reported in 15 days between August 15 and August 29. And these cases were reported from 16 out of the 52 districts of the state.
The districts where maximum cases were reported in the past 15 days include Jabalpur (35 new cases), Indore (30 new cases), Bhopal (29 new cases), Rajgarh (8 new cases), Dhar (7 new cases), Panna (5 new cases), Alirajpur (3 new cases), Harda (3 new cases), Raisen (3 new cases), Hoshangabad (2 new cases), Rewa (2 new cases), Sheopur (2 new cases), and one new case each in Gwalior, Ratlam, Sagar and Singrauli districts.
Of the total 133 cases, 70% or 94 cases were reported from only three districts Jabalpur, Indore and Bhopal.
Thus from 36 districts of the state no new cases have been reported in the past 15 days, said sources adding, it is a good sign as these districts are probably without any Covid-19 patient.
However it has been thrice in the past 10 days when more than 10 new cases were reported in the state, August 19, then August 27 and now on August 29, said sources. And of the 16 districts where new cases were reported in the past 15 days, it was only in past three days that three of these 16 districts saw patients, though it is not alarming as of now, but given to the nature of the virus and the speed at which it spreads, it is important to ensure that everyone follows covid-19 appropriate behaviour and also vaccination is carried out at larger scale, added sources.
