For the second day, the recovery rate stood at 97.93%. With cases rising, active cases surging, recovery going down the only solace is on the death part. On the 43rd day, nobody became a victim to Covid-19 in the district.
The Nagpur district had witnessed 78 cases from December 1 to 24. The last two days have added 56 cases.
The third wave in Nagpur looms large if people violate norms. Festival time, New Year and vacation period can all trigger for a surge in cases. People should restrict themselves. Negligence might explode the cases, said an expert.
