In the view of the new variant ‘Omicron’ scare, the Covid positive cases in Thane have fallen down at a level such that from among nine wards, three wards have almost zero positive cases on a regular basis while three others have below five positive cases each.
Over the last few days, the Thane Municipal Corporation has been testing around 1,700-2,400 people daily.
A senior official from the TMC Health Department has said that “With many avenues opening up for the vaccinated population and people starting to travel as well, more are coming for testing. Moreover, the change in weather has also led to viral infections. Some who feel these could be symptoms also get tested, increasing the number of tests in the city.”
