Kerala became the fourth state in the country after Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to record over 10,000 Covid-19 cases in a day even as the countrywide daily tally, in keeping with the trend of the infection slowing down, remained below the 80,000-mark for the fifth consecutive day on Wednesday. Kerala as well as Karnataka recorded their highest peak in daily cases even as the number of infections in all other states, barring Bengal, was lower than their respective peaks. Kerala recorded 10,606 fresh cases, a huge jump of over 1,300 cases from the previous peak on October 2 when 9,258 patients had tested positive. Kerala ranks third in the country in active cases — 92,246 — after Maharashtra and Karnataka. Karnataka was close to the 11,000 mark with 10,947 infections on Wednesday, a jump by nearly 500 cases from the previous peak of 10,453 on September 29. This is for the fourth time in the last nine days that Karnataka has crossed 10,000 infections. However, even as the two southern states see a surge, the trend of the infection slowing down in the country, at least for the time being, continues with active cases nationally dropping for the sixth consecutive day. The active cases on Wednesday stood at 9,10,851, a drop of nearly 45,000 infections from the previous peak of 9,55,400 on October 1. As per the data collated from states, 78,912 patients tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, higher than the previous day’s figure of 72,552, but much lower than the country’s peak in daily cases since the onset of the pandemic, which was recorded on September 17 at 98,795. For the fifth straight day, India recorded less than 1,000 fatalities as 974 deaths on Wednesday took the cumulative toll to 1,05,490. The total caseload of the country stands at 68,32,963 while 58,16,622 people have recovered from the virus. Apart from Kerala and Karnataka, Bengal recorded its highest daily peak with 3,455 cases.
