Ahmedabad/Surat: In the 24 hours ending at 5 pm on Tuesday, the state reported 108 new Covid cases, taking the total number of active cases to 461, according to a bulletin issued by the state health department.
The data indicated that out of the total active cases, 20 were hospitalised, while the remaining 441 were in home isolation. In the same period, 43 patients were discharged, and one patient succumbed to the infection, as per the bulletin.
An analysis of the Covid case details from Ahmedabad city indicated that about 10-15% of the total cases are below five years of age. At least five patients were below one year in major hospitals, according to the data.
"Moreover, the majority of the patients are recorded in the below 60 years or working population this wave. In comparison, the earlier waves had patients in senior citizen age categories," said a health department official.
Two deaths recorded in the city were also reported in relatively younger ages — 18 and 47 years. Both were women and had comorbidities, added officials. However, a more detailed analysis of the cases may point to possible reasons for the deaths, said officials.

"Across India, five deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours, and the reasons, as mentioned by the MoHFW website, point towards respiratory illnesses along with diabetes, hypertension, heart, and kidney diseases. The deaths recorded on the website have only one person below 50 years. Thus, the trend in Gujarat is slightly different from the one observed across India," said a city-based physician, adding that there is no need for concern, but for caution.
"If the flu-like symptoms persist for more than two days, medical help should be availed."
