Kolkata Covid Cases

Gangasagar Mela (January 8-17) will go ahead, and precautions will be taken if there are cases of coronavirus infection, says Chief Minister

West Bengal on Monday recorded 4,546 new COVID-19 cases, pushing the tally to 19,69,791, while 37 more fatalities raised the toll to 20,375, a health department bulletin said.

West Bengal's COVID-19 tally rose to 19,49,074 on Friday as 9,154 people tested positive for the infection, 1,805 less than the previous day, a health bulletin said.

West Bengal on Wednesday registered 11,447 new COVID-19 cases, 1,017 more than the previous day's figure, pushing the tally to 19,28,261, the health department said in a bulletin.

Apprehending that the state may witness a surge in the number of Covid-19 cases in the state on account of the upcoming festivities, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that the administration is well prepared to tackle it.

Alarmed over Covid cases doubling in 24 hours in Kolkata, the Bengal government on Thursday suspended all direct flights from the UK and other high-risk countries from January 3.

Kolkata today reported a whopping spike today as its daily case count more than doubled to 1,090 from 540 yesterday. The city's daily cases recorded a 101.85% jump today. Bengal logged 2,128 cases in the same period with 12 related deaths.

Thousands of people in Kolkata were seen crowding public places to celebrate Christmas on Saturday with few wearing masks and even fewer showing any caution amid growing coronavirus cases in several parts of the country and the Omicron alert.

The centre has pulled up the West Bengal government for the rise in number of COVID-19 cases in Kolkata following huge crowds on the streets during the Durga Puja celebrations earlier this month.

The COVID-19 numbers are on the rise in Kolkata since the end of Durga Puja festivities and now the graph is rising so sharply, civic authorities are reopening safe houses and quarantine centres on Monday for patients who need to isolate.

The Calcutta High Court has for now refused to interfere in the investigation into the case of fake Covid vaccination camps allegedly conducted by accused Debanjan Deb in the city and its suburbs.

Two more people were arrested in connection with the dubious COVID vaccination camps case in Kolkata, a police officer said on Tuesday.

Black Fungus still remains a cause of concern for the state. A suspected patient of Black Fungus disease died at a state hospital in Kolkata on Saturday.

Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Varun Chakravarthy revealed he has "weakness and dizziness" and consequently he hasn't been able to resume training even after testing negative for COVID-19.

India saw the lowest single-day jump in coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours since mid-June with 12,584 fresh infections taking the tally to 1,04,79,179, the government data this morning showed. 167 deaths linked to the highly infectious disease since yesterday took the total number of deaths to 1,51,327.
