Worldwide, the death toll from Covid exceeds 16,000, but the number of people affected by the disease is a great relief. It is estimated that up to one million people worldwide are now free from Covid disease.
As of Monday, more than 3,50,000 people were diagnosed with the disease worldwide. Of these, 15000 died. But the fact that one million people have been diagnosed with the disease has given the world much hope for a fight against Covid. These figures are from John Hopkins University.
Covid has reported 81,400 cases in China alone and 2.60 lakh cases in 166 other countries. The most promising and definitive figures come from South Korea. One third of those infected were cured. Italy, which reported the largest number of cases after China, is also hopeful.
70,000 people in China get sick In Hubei province alone, 59,000 people have been cured of the disease.
The first three Covid case in India were in Kerala. The three were later cured. The next phase of the outbreak began with 11 of the 14 Italian nationals diagnosed with the disease. As soon as symptoms showed up in the Gurugram Isolation Ward, they were shifted to a greater extent to prevent the spread of disease. They were all discharged on March 3. So far 35 people have been cured in India.
Health experts say that if the patient shows no symptoms of fever for three days without medication / no symptoms of coughing or shortness of breath for a week / two consecutive tests, Covid is considered to be curable.
Even if symptoms show little signs of infection, the patient’s body may have traces of the virus. That’s why Covid tests are done on two consecutive days.
