The R-value (reproductive number of coronavirus cases) in the State is currently below one per cent which is proved from the declining trend of the Covid-19 graph, said Director of Medical Education and Training (DMET) Dr CBK Mohanty on Monday.He said that while some States are still reporting more than 1% R-value, Odisha continues with a dip in daily cases which showed the R-value below 1%."There is no need to panic now. The infection depends on the reflection of R-value in the community. A Covid survivor, who has already been administered two doses of the vaccine, is less prone to re-infection," Mohanty clarified.On the surging number of Covid deaths, he said the daily casualties are not based on the report of a particular day. "The death report currently published on dashboard is all audited old records. The previous backlog on the deaths is being cleared now, which will end in next 10-15 days. Thereafter, the reported number of fatalities will decrease," he claimed. "Strict restrictions was put in place in Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and Puri due to daily triple-digit infections.
