In Madhya Pradesh, once again corona cases have started gaining momentum in many districts amid the campaigning for local body and Panchayat elections. During the last 24 hours, 61 new corona cases have been confirmed across the state. Now the number of active corona patients in different districts of the state has increased to 481, out of which most are being treated in home isolation. At the same time, during the last three waves of corona, 10 lakh 46 thousand 960 patients have been confirmed so far.

During the last 24 hours, samples of 6,434 suspects were taken across the state, out of which 61 people have been confirmed to be infected.

New corona positive people are from different districts of Madhya Pradesh. A case was found in Balaghat, 18 infected detected in Bhopal, 2 in Dindori, 3 in Gwalior, 2 in Harda, 1 in Hoshangabad, 13 in Indore, 6 in Jabalpur, 3 in Katni, 4 in Narsinghpur, 2 in Raisen, 2 each in Rajgarh and Ratlam, 1 in Sagar, two in Ujjain and 1 in Singrauli have been confirmed. However, it is a matter of relief that in the last 24 hours in the state, 62 patients have returned home after recovering. At the same time, positivity rate also remains around one per cent at present.

In Madhya Pradesh, emphasis is also being laid on the corona vaccination. The health department of the state is appealing to the parents of children of 12 to 14 years to get their children vaccinated. So far, more than 12 crore vaccine shots have been administered of all three doses. Apart from this, 34 lakh 34 thousand 294 children have got vaccinated in the 12 to 14 years age bracket. Efforts are being made to prevent corona in the State through vaccination.

However, experts believe that if the corona protocols are ignored by political parties during the election campaign, then once again the uncontrollable situation of corona can arise in Madhya Pradesh.
