Elaborating on the reasons for the slight rise in the fatality rate, the spokesperson said before declaring a Covid death, an audit was conducted as per the medical guidelines. He said though the positivity rate had declined from 0.46 per cent on June 22 to 0.14 per cent on July 17, the fatality rate has increased as the deaths were reported much later after ascertaining the exact cause. — TNS
