Gujarat has been witnessing a spike in the number of COVID cases over the past week as the country battles the Third Wave of the pandemic
Many politicians seem to be getting affected by COVID. Gujarat agriculture minister Raghavji Patel was infected and was under home isolation following a positive test report. However, due to other co-morbid factors like diabetes, hypertension, and a constant rise in body temperature, Patel was admitted to the U N Mehta Hospital in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
Ahmedabad has also been recording a significant surge in the number of daily COVID cases. A rising number of cases among police personnel and medical staff has been a cause for concern for the state administration. Over the last 24 hours 14,781 new cases have been recorded in Gujarat.
A few days back, minister Rajendra Trivedi tested positive for Covid and isolated himself at home. State home minister Harsh Sanghavi also got infected recently.
