LUCKNOW: The number rose to double digits (13 cases) on Sunday, a day after UP recorded the lowest Covid single day of three cases. The active cases which had dropped below the 100 mark also increased to 103 in the last 24 hours. The state now has 20% of its eligible adult population fully vaccinated, while 65% have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Of the 13 cases, Lucknow, Gautam Budh Nagar and Sitapur Two cases each were reported on Sunday, while there are no active cases in 41 districts.
At present, 12.54 crore people have been vaccinated in UP, in which 2.95 crore people have received both the doses.
To further expedite vaccination, the state government on Sunday announced the adoption of ‘Cluster Model 2.0’ from November 1 to improve second dose coverage. Amit Mohan Prasad, ACS, Health, said, “In addition to the existing strategy, efforts are needed to achieve the desired target. The second dose using Cluster Model 2.0 should be done in villages/localities where the first dose was successfully administered through Cluster Model 2.0, giving priority to complete vaccination.
Through the cluster model, the villages will be divided into categories based on their vaccination status and the villages which have completed both the doses will be called ‘COVID safe villages’. Based on the vaccination assessment by the accountants, all villages will be divided into three categories – those with 95% or more first dose vaccination, 80-95% first dose vaccination, and more than 80% first dose vaccination. On the basis of this list, priority will be given to vaccination.
