But once again in February, the graph of corona patients has increased. At the same time, the death rate has also been increasing. No patient died in the district on February 18. The number of patients dying during the day has gone up to 4. The Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), District civil hospital, municipal covid centres and private hospitals are full of corona patients.
