Rajasthan which shows the doubling rate of coronavirus, almost 58 days in November, has now gone down to 214 days in Rajasthan and the trend indicates that the state is nearing the herd immunity stage, said medical practitioners in the desert state. A senior doctor Virendra Singh said: "There were estimates that COVID-19 cases can go up during winters. However, the continuous dwindling of numbers suggests that we are reaching the stage of herd immunity." 

Rajasthan reported 843 corona cases on Sunday, taking the active cases to 11,157. On November 27, 3,093 cases were reported, with active cases totalling 28,183. The cumulative COVID cases in Rajasthan in the last one week have been limited to around 1,000, confirmed health officials. Inspite of the 100 per cent RT-PCR tests being done, the continuous fall in the positivity rate is a good sign, said Siddharth Mahajan, Secretary, Medicine and Health, Rajasthan. 

Only 137 corona patients are admitted as against a capacity of 1,200 beds in RUHS Hospital, he said, adding that the infection rate has reduced to 3.75 per cent in the last one week. Dr Rajababu Panwar, Vice Chancellor of Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, speaking on the nature of the virus by taking into account the SARS-1, H1N1 and other viruses, said that every virus has a death circle along with its birth circle and after a while the effect of the virus starts decreasing. CM at the review meeting said, "This is a good sign that COVID numbers are decreasing. However, till the time COVID goes away completely, we need to work with the same alacrity and adopt all precautions".
