Mortality Rate Bengal

West Bengal reported 2,954 new cases of coronavirus and 56 deaths on a day the state chief secretary said that the COVID-19 death rate in Bengal stands at 2.2 per cent and that 87 per cent patients who died had severe comorbid conditions.

West Bengal has the highest mortality rate in the country at 12.8 per cent, Inter Ministerial Central Team (IMCT) leader Apoorva Chandra wrote in his final observations to state Chief Secretary Rajiva Sinha, before leaving for Delhi on Monday.

Blaming a section of the media for joining the opposition chorus over death of babies in state-run hospitals, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today dubbed it as 'rumour' since the child mortality rate has dropped in the state.

There seems to be no end in sight to the horror of infant deaths in West Bengal. From Malda, which recently witnessed the shocking death of 15 babies within 48 hours at a government hospital, the focus has now shifted to Murshidabad. 10 newborns have died in the last two days in a state-run hospital in Behrampore in the district.
