Officials have attributed the spike in covid-19 cases to the festival season. Some 40% beds in hospitals are still available for covid-19 patients, said Additional Chief Secretary Rajiv Kumar Gupta, who has been appointed officer on special duty for COVID-19 in Ahmedabad.
The number of micro containment areas in the city rose to 100 after 14 areas were added to the list on Wednesday, according to the AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation).
Residential areas and individual apartments are designated as containment areas after new COVID-19 cases are detected there. This enables the municipal corporation to carry out surveillance and other activities to contain the spread of COVID-19.
