Old deaths due to corona 'account' / Maharashtra gave information of 4005 and Kerala 79 in a single day, health ministry expressed surprise

Even though there is a decrease in the cases of corona in the country, there is a lot of delay in the daily reporting from the states. After Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, now Maharashtra and Kerala have accounted for more than four thousand old deaths, due to which the Health Ministry has confirmed the death of 4100 people in the last one day.

According to the ministry, Maharashtra gave information about the death of 4005 people. These people had died a long time ago, but this information came late from the state government. Similarly, Kerala gave the account of 79 old deaths in the last one day. In the last one year, Kerala has so far sent information about more than 20 thousand old deaths to the center. This process is still going on and so far more than 60 thousand people have died in Kerala. A senior Health Ministry official said, gradually the figures are coming out from the states, one of the reasons for which is the compensation given to those who die of the infection. However, the central government has again given instructions to the states to give timely information.
