All patients are those who have recovered from Covid recently. There are only two patients who belong to the district, while the rest all are from other districts and nearby states. The Mohali Civil Surgeon, Dr Adarshpal Kaur, said, “The caseload of Covid patients has come down considerably in the past few days. It is not that we are getting mucormycosis patients daily but the shortage of medicine is a big handicap. We hope things will improve in next one week.”

Some respite on Covid front

On the Covid front, after over a month, the active case count went below the 5,000-mark, halting at 4,722.
