In India also, the disease is started to spread. As of now, the government has announced the 21 days national lockdown to control the disease.
As per the reports, India has lesser number of COVID -19 cases, compared to more countries. We will see the statistics in detail here.
As per the researchers, the following data have arrived.
By seeing this data, as of now we can know that the affected case and death in India is much lower when compared to that of the global average. Even our neighboring countries Bangladesh and Nepal are also having similar numbers. Also, the African countries also low affected by COVID-19.
This is just the current situation. If our spread rate becomes steady, we may also enter the top affected nations list. Some reasons have been quoted for the low corona cases in India. They are,
These are some main reasons for less corona cases in our country. The number of COVID-19 tests that recorded in India is just around 48000. This is very low, considering our high population. We have only 126 ICMR labs to test the corona cases.
Also narrow testing is also the other secondary reason. Narrow testing is that, we test only the suspicious cases. And the travel history of positive cases alone traced. So this is also a drawback.
Also, people in India are not following self-assessment methods to prevent them from COVID-19. Still many people treating COVID-19 as the normal fever, cold, and cough.
Another reason for low cases is this national lockdown measure. It is heavily believed that the viral spread rate is controlled due to lock down all over the country.
The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is used in our country for the prevention of tuberculosis. This is also quoted as a reason for low corona cases in our country. Because this vaccine is not used by many other countries in the world. Scientists of the USA, Europe, and Australia are researching this vaccine usage against COVID-19.
Apart from these main reasons, the heat and humidity of our country may be an added reason. As per the reports, most viruses cannot survive in temperature over 45 degrees. But some researchers are denying this report.
As of now, this 21 days lockdown is very important to move. But we have to test more cases and control the disease as soon as possible. For that, all the medical arrangements should be made immediately. Or else, our situation may also turn upside down.
