From February 5- February 16, the PCMC health department conducted 16,758 tests of which 1,370 have been tested positive for coronavirus and 16 deaths were recorded.

So far, 12,000 residents, including front line workers, doctors, police and people from administration have taken the first dose of Covid vaccination.

“The gradual rise in numbers of Covid positive patients is due to change in weather conditions. The death rate is still less as compared to previous periods. Residents should continue following the precautionary measures strictly as it has been observed since last month that some people are taking the reality of Covid-19 lightly,” said Pavan Salve, additional health and medical officer, PCMC.
