COVID-19 cases in the city increased by 39 per cent in the last five days as compared to the first nine days of the month. While testing was boosted from 14,000 to 16,000 a day, the number of positive cases per 100 tests also rose. Even though the increase does not match the level of cases in January and December, the trend of declining cases appears to have stopped for now.
