New Delhi Jan 29 PTI The number of COVID-19 cases reported in Delhi has reduced significantly in the last one week from over 11000 cases logged on January 22 but the containment zones count remains over 40000 according to official dataA containment zone is created by authorities to check the spread of infection if at least three cases of coronavirus are recorded in a household or in a neighbourhoodThe surge in Covid cases in Delhi during the third wave of the pandemic are due to the Omicron variant of the virus which is highly transmissibleMany families in a large number of neighbourhoods had tested positive but medical experts have said that since the infection had happened at the same time the recovery too will be quicker for the community as a whole and there is less chance of more spread of infection as people are largely home isolated with a very little number of patients needing hospitalisation this timeAccording to official data shared by the Delhi health departmentthe number of containment zones in the city stood at 41095 on Friday a fall from 42388 on ThursdayThe number of containment zones on January 22 was 43457 when 11486 Covid cases were recordedThe number of cases have dropped in the last one week with over 4000 cases logged on FridayHowever the number of containment zones are still in the range of over 40000If a household or a neighbourhood is put under a containment zone category then movement of people in and out of that region is restrictedDistrict officials had earlier said that emphasis was being laid on mirco containment to arrest the spread of the infectionWhile home isolation protocols have undergone a change in the recent past the containment zone regulations still remain the same authorities saidSources in the district administration authorities in Delhi said the policy to manage containment zones is still the same meaning a zone can be put in a de-containment zone only after a 14-day period to check the spread of infectionSo number of positive cases may register a fall but number of containment zones can be expected to show reduction only after passage of that stipulated time they saidAccording to a senior government official The decontainment strategy has not changed which means that an area is decontained only after 14 days If in a house there are three people who have been infected and it has been declared as a micro-containment zone it will be decontained 14 days from the day the last patient recovers The number is high due to this reason Delhi on Friday had reported 4044 fresh COVID-19 cases and 25 deaths while the positivity rate dropped slightly to 860 per cent according to data shared by the city health departmentWith this the national capitals case count had increased to176441 and the death toll climbed to 25769 according to Fridays bulletin The number of COVID-19 tests conducted on Thursday had stood at 47042 it said Delhi had on Thursday reported 4291 cases with a positivity rate of 956 per cent and 34 deathsThe number of daily cases in Delhi has been on the decline after touching the record high of 28867 on January 13 The city had recorded a positivity rate of 3060 per cent on January 14 the highest during the ongoing wave of the pandemicIt took just 10 days for daily cases to drop below the 10000-mark PTI KND SLB ZMN
