Cases of infections are exploding in every state. Odisha on Monday registered 4445 Covid-19 cases, reportedly the highest since the pandemic began. The surge has raised the positive tally in the state to 3,72,703. While so far 3,46,134 of them have recuperated from the disease, the active case stood at 24,568 on Monday. Four fatalities in the last 24 hours has pushed the death toll in the state to 1948. 2574 of the new cases are from quarantine, and the rest 1871 are local transmission cases. With 722 new positive cases in a day, Sundargarh continues to be the worst-affected district and houses maximum number of active cases in the state. Sundargarh is followed by Khordha which reported 587 new infections during the day. Next in the list is Nuapada which saw a big spike of 437 fresh cases of coronavirus. 273 new positive cases were reported in Kalahandi, 251 in Cuttack, 241 in Sambalpur, 231 in Jharsuguda, 219 in Puri, 123 in Balasore, 178 in Bargarh, 168 in Bolangir, 127 in Nabarangpur, and 100 cases in Mayurbhanj.
The test positivity rate (TPR) of Odisha looks concerning. On Sunday, Odisha has tested a little over 36000 samples of which 4445 were found positive. Yesterday's TPR stood at 10.6 and it has suddenly jumped to 12.3 today, which clearly gives an indication that more positive cases will emerge if the state increases the daily testing.
As per reports, the highest single-day spike Odisha had witnessed was in September last year when the state detected as many as 4,340 COVID-19 cases.
