| Warning: Jammu records single-day highest case since outbreak of pandemic in 2020 | | • Earlier Jammu recorded the highest cases on May 10, 2021, when 658 single-day positive cases were reported | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 15: Despite repeated warnings by the members of the civil society, authorities at the helm of the affairs appear to have failed to take preventive steps resulting in a COVID Tsunami in Jammu-the winter capital of the Union Territory.
First-time since March 9, 2020, when the first coronavirus positive case was detected in J&K, Jammu district recorded the single-day highest 685 fresh positive cases. As per official data of the J&K government, earlier Jammu had recorded single-day highest 658 cases on May 9, 2021, when a total of 5190 cases were reported across the UT. On May 9 total recoveries were 318.
Today J&K recorded 3251 cases out of which Jammu district alone reported 685 cases. And more shockingly, only 118 patients have been recovered from the Jammu district during the last 24 hours. More than 600 single-day cases were reported in Jammu only during the peak of the second wave in May 2021.
The emergence of Jammu as Corona capital created fear among residents because health infrastructure is already ailing in the winter capital.
Authorities have yet not cleared apprehensions aired by RTI activists Balvinder Singh regarding the quality of the ventilators installed in different hospitals of Jammu.
As reported earlier by this newspaper Singh has claimed that the installation of defective ventilators in health institutions of Jammu division Jammu could be one of the major reasons/factor responsible for the highest COVID mortality rate in the Jammu division as compared to Kashmir Valley during the second wave. |
