Centre signals third Covid wave is ending, nudges states to lift curbs

As new Covid-19 cases decline across the country, the Centre has asked states and union territories to review, change or drop Covid-19 restrictions.

The Centre has told the states to consider the trend of new cases and positivity rate in their regions while taking the decision.

In a letter sent to Chief Secretaries of all states, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said the coronavirus pandemic in India is showing a sustained declining trend since January 21.

The daily case positivity rate declined to 3.63 per cent on Wednesday.

States had clamped a number of Covid restrictions in the last few months as cases kept rising.

The Centre has now told states that Covid management should not hamper economic activity as the coronavirus cases are showing a decline.

The Centre has advised states to follow the broad five-fold strategy of Test Track-Treat-Vaccination and adherence to Covid-appropriate behaviour.
