The Covid-19 landscape of Uttarakhand changed again on Sunday with authorities putting worst affected Nainital district in the red zone for the disease. In the new zoning categorisation, Udham Singh Nagar district was put in the green category. This district is the only district in the state which is in green category. The remaining 11 districts of the state would continue to remain in orange category for the disease.
The state administration had put all 13 districts of the state into orange category last week. It is pertinent to mention here that the number of total active cases, doubling rate in last seven days, fatality rate, testing ratio and test positivity rate are the factors considered in the zone categorisation of districts.
