There has been a significant drop in the number of elderly people catching Covid-19 in Chhattisgarh's Raigarh district, the Health Department said on Wednesday.

“Ninety-four percent of people above 45 years in Raigarh have received the first dose of Covid vaccine and its effect is visible. In past 13 days, 2,932 Covid cases were registered in Raigarh of which only 235 patients were above 60 years,” a press release said.

District Collector Bheem Singh has made vaccination a priority.

The number of patients in the 45-plus years category was significantly high before vaccination.

People below 45 years have not got vaccine shots. As per data, the maximum numbers of cases have been reported in the age bracket 31 to 44 and 16 to 31 years.

Chief Health and Medical Officer Dr S.N. Kesari said on Tuesday that 388 fresh cases were detected in Raigarh. Most of them were under 45 years.
