Srinagar/IBNS: Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) for Health and Medical Education, Vivek Bhardwaj, Tuesday chaired a meeting with the officers to review the Covid-19 status in the Kashmir division.

An official spokesman in a statement issued here said Bhardwaj was briefed about the status of coronavirus in the Kashmir division which included daily testing, positivity rate, current active cases and contact tracing.

He was informed that the average number of daily tests last week was 22,393 and the average number of daily positive cases last week was 105 (with 60 in Srinagar).

Similarly, the positivity rate of the Kashmir division last week was 0.43 percent, while it was 1.96 percent in the Srinagar district.

Likewise, the average number of contacts traced per positive case last week in the division was 18 and 20 in Srinagar.

Bhardwaj highlighted the importance of contact tracing among the populace, besides institutional quarantine for symptomatic Covid-19 positive patients, patients with comorbidities, and positive patients with the higher group to reduce the positivity rate.
