After an exemplary handling of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Uttar Pradesh under the effective leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is yet again emerging successful in containing its deadly second wave as the state logged fresh cases below the 500-mark for the first time since the second wave surge of Covid-19 cases.
Uttar Pradesh recorded merely 468 fresh COVID-19 cases, the lowest daily count in over two-and-a-half months testifying success of numerous proactive measures adopted by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in limiting the transmission of virus in the densely populated state.
The Yogi-led state has also been registering a steep decline in the number of Active Covid Cases as the figure has dropped from a high of 3,10,783 in April to 8,986 now, a remarkable reduction by 97.10 percent.
Implementing measures such as the intensive ‘Trace, Test & Treat’ and prevention through vaccination and Partial Corona Curfews to decimate the pandemic, the UP government adopted a multipronged approach to minimise its devastating impact, as a result of which the positivity rate has slumped to 0.1 per cent.
Despite aggressive tracing and testing, Uttar Pradesh’s positivity rate – which shows the level of infections among people – has been registering a steady decline for several days indicating signs that the dangerous Covid wave is receding from the state.
