COVID-19 cases are rising in the country and along with that another bizarre report comes out in the middle of this situation. There are many cases reported across the country and most of the patients do not have any symptoms of corona virus and they do not have any symptoms like illness, fever, cold etc. But they reported COVID-19 positive after test performed. Scientists have also said that there are 80% of cases in the country in which the infected person has no signs of symptoms corona virus.
Scientists say that Indian people, whose immune system is stronger than others, are also infected with corona virus which in turn causes their body to remain in normal condition and they exhibit no illness for long time. Because of that many COVID-19 positive people do not show alarm symptoms.
This type of condition is also considered very dangerous as it can also be a hindrance in screening corona patients.
Head of epidemiology and communicable diseases at ICMR Dr Raman R Gangakhedkar said there are currently 80% cases in India in which the corona virus has entered the body but the person does not show symptoms. As part its revised strategy to fight the spread of COVID-19, the government has started testing people with fever, cough and sore throat in hotspots or cluster areas.
But main risk is that such people, who do not show symptoms of corona virus, exposed to others and spread the virus further unknowingly. Also, in India where population is around 130 crore, it may difficult to perform door to door testing process.
As reported by Government till 20th April, a total of 17,265 confirmed cases are reported for COVID-19 in the country. As many as 2547 persons i.e. 14.75 % of total cases have been cured/ discharged after recovery. A total of 543 deaths have been reported so far due to COVID-19.
If we take positive note of COVID-19 in India, all COVID-19 patients in Goa were discharged from hospital after recovery, and now Goa has no active case. Three districts - Mahe (Puducherry), Kodaggu (Karnataka) & Pauri Garhwal (Uttrakhand) have also not reported any fresh cases during the last 28 days. There are now 59 additional districts from 23 States/UTs that have not reported any fresh cases during the last 14 days.
