With 15,525 COVID-19 cases, Maharashtra has reported the highest number of infections, followed by Gujarat (6,245) and Delhi (5,104).
After a brief presentation on the status of COVID-19 cases in the States, Dr Harsh Vardhan expressed concern regarding the high fatality rate due to COVID-19 in some districts of the states.
He said that the states need to focus on more effective surveillance, contact tracing and early diagnosis to reduce high fatality rate.
He also said that proper interventions, screening and testing of Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) / Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) cases need adequate attention. He stressed that this may prevent the spread of infection in other areas.
Implementation of an effective containment strategy needs to be on the top priority of the states to reduce the mortality rate.
Dr Harsh Vardhan spoke to Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitinbhai Patel and Health Minister and Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope in presence of Minister of State for Health Ashwini Kumar Choubey, along with the senior officials from both Centre and States.
