The civic body health officials, tabulating the figures on a weekly basis, have found that this week (1-7 Sep) fresh cases reported in the area are 319.
Last week (25-31 Aug) the number of fresh cases was 217.
The total number of cases now is close to 1,050.
Explaining the trend in increase in fresh cases from last week to this week, officials said the hike should have been more than double of last week. "This is significant for us. The surge has not doubled which means somewhere our preventive measures have paid dividends. We are prepared to handle the situation," said a health official.
