Highlights
- India has reported the addition of 43,263 new covid cases to the list of active cases Last Thursday
- The total number of active cases at the moment account for 1.19% of the total caseload in the nation
- Failure to reduce the total number of cases may create a pathway for the third wave to appear.
India has been able to put a hold on its total number of coronavirus cases for quite a bit of time now. The second wave had wreaked havoc, but it was assumed that with the ramping up of the vaccination drive, the total number of cases would go down and there would be a lower possibility of the third wave. However, on 9th September, it was reported by the health advisories that India has 43,263 new covid cases. This huge number of cases has developed over the span of 24 hours only. The total number of cases within the nation has jumped up to 33,139,981 with this development.
Kerala, The Major Contributor Of New Covid Cases
Out of the total number of cases that have been recorded till now, Kerala alone has 30,196 cases. It is extremely disheartening to see the government of Kerala not being able to put a stop to the increasing number of coronavirus cases. It seems that if the nation is going to suffer from a third wave of the pandemic, the epicenter will definitely be Kerala. The death toll has also increased within the last 24 hours. There has been a total fatality count of 338, which is indeed very concerning for the officials.
