District epidemiologist Dr Sumit Singh said, “The major case load is in the city itself. The positivity rate is based on density of the population. The availability of testing facility and awareness is also a major factor behind the number of people approaching hospitals to give swab samples.”

He added that at the same time the hospitalisation rate was low. “Only six people have been hospitalised in the district till now,” he said.
