You know, at the present time, we have better equipment, expertise Much bigger, much better test. I mean the test itself has jumped, so you will get more positivity than that. But if you look nationwide, the important point is that the rate of new cases increasing is between 0 and 1 per cent. It’s really level, As far as deaths are concerned, it is the same, in fact it is less than that, it is like zero to half a percent. “
