One in every two persons tested for Covid-19 has been found positive over the past week

One in every two persons tested for Covid-19 in Calcutta has been found positive over the past week with the city’s test positivity rate touching 55 per cent, the highest among 721 districts nationwide.

Eleven other Bengal districts — Howrah, West Burdwan, East Burdwan, North 24-Parganas, South 24-Parganas, Birbhum, Malda, Darjeeling, Hooghly, Bankura and Purulia — also had positivity rates exceeding 10 per cent between January 1 and January 7.

High positivity rates signal large epidemics, and the health ministry has set 10 per cent positivity over two weeks as a threshold beyond which district authorities should impose lockdown-like restrictions. Howrah’s positivity rate during the January 1-7 week was 42 per cent.

Bengal’s 12 districts are among 78 nationwide where the positivity rates have exceeded 10 per cent over the past week.
