Speaking
to ANI, Mehta said, "Death certificates and Covid positive cases were
matched. Deaths found not reflected in the epidemiological report have now been
reconciled and this has indicated an additional 5071 positive cases which have
been discharged and additional 1328 deaths due to various causes as being COVID
positive at the time of death.

portal-based. So, a letter was sent last week to Collectors and Commissioners
to match total reported positive cases with final outcome namely either
discharge or unfortunate deaths." Read More
