One in two people suffers from the Corona virus in the state of Goa, southwestern India, which makes the state with the highest percentage of positive cases in the country, where the virus is spreading greatly..
And these numbers appeared only among people who were subject to the test, which means that the infection rate among the population who did not undergo tests to detect the virus may be higher, according to “CNN”.
Goa Minister of Health, Vishwajit B. Rani, that the state yesterday (Friday) recorded a new high rate of Corona infections, which reached 51.4%, which indicates that a complete closure may be necessary to contain the spread of the virus..
As of yesterday, about 690,360 tests were conducted in the state, according to the state’s press information office.
“This is the need of the hour,” Rani said, adding that the state’s prime minister is seriously considering the closure.
He continued: “We have problems with the oxygen supply. We need to reduce the casualty rate … This is the only way forward. ”
The second wave in India hit its major cities and populous states hard. Cases in the capital, New Delhi, began to spike in late March and picked up dramatically last April.
