However, what was unknown at the time was that it could make its way to a religious gathering and leave thousands uncertain about their fate. <div type="image" title="niza2" msid="74907928" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nizamuddin area in Delhi completely sealed as a group of 175 people from Delhi&amp;#39;s Nizamuddin area are being tested for Coronavirus in different hospitals amid worries that they may have been exposed to the infection at a gathering in a mosque that featured visitors from Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Delhi's Markaz Tablighi Jamanth at Hazrat Nizamuddin is now the single biggest hotspot in the country where officials estimate over 3,000 were in attendance — some from countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Indonesia where Coronavirus infections had already been reported. According to reports, it has led to at least eight deaths and 117 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in India, across the country. From Nizamuddin to the far flung corners of the country The event passed all but unnoticed until a 65-year old man in Jammu and Kashmir passed away on March 26. States in India are scrambling to figure out who attended the event and could have contracted the virus. On March 20, 10 Indonesians who attended the gathering had tested positive for Coroanvirus in Telangana. Ten days later, the Telangana government reported that six people who attended the congregation at Markaz Tablighi Jamath died from Covid-19. Around 194 people from the state attended the event with 15 testing positive so far. In Karanataka, five people attended the event, of which one is dead due to Coronavirus. Maharashtra, India's worst hit state as of April 1, reported that 109 people attended the event. Seven positive cases of Coronavirus have already emerged with one death. In Delhi, 24 people have tested positive for the virus. In neighboring states, Uttar Pradesh has placed 50 people under quarantine in the Jaunpur district and 125 people have been tracked down in Haryana. In Punjab, nine people reportedly attended the religious congregation. In <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/coranavirus-cases-in-tamil-nadu-news-and-updates/articleshow/74785909.cms">Tamil Nadu</a>, officials estimate that around 500 people from the state were present at the event. So far, 50 positive cases of Coronavirus have showed up in the state with one dead. As a result, 22 secondary cases have emerged in Salem. <div type="image" title="niz2" msid="74915658" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, 441 people have tested positive for symptoms of the infection in the city so far. In Kerala, the intelligence department has tracked 45 people who were present at the event, according to Time Now. It is yet to be determined if any of them have been infected. Similarly in Assam, the government has tracked down 456 people who had gone to Delhi to attend the event at Hazrat Nizamuddin. In Odisha, only 3 people have been identified. <div type="image" title="niz6" msid="74915687" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A driver wears a mask and protective suit as he moves towards the bus in which people who came for &amp;#8216;Jamat&amp;#8217; at Nizamuddin Mosque being taken to LNJP Hospital for COVID-19 test &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Of the ten people infected in Andaman, nine had attended the event, according to Abhijit Roy, deputy director of health in the state. So far 1,034 people have been evacuated from the area and sent to various locations. Out of which, 344 have been admitted to hospitals and the rest have been committed to different quarantine centers. The buses sent to collect them had to make 34 round trips. <div type="twitter" handle="TelanganaCMO" handlename="Telangana CMO" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/493733709787308032/Zer8dZ3-_normal.jpeg" favoritecount="5028" retweetcount="2218" status="Six people from Telangana who attended a religious congregation at Markaz in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi from 13-1… https://t.co/qJi9J6pW3N" createdat="1585590792000" id="1244684114000662528"></div> Finding the missing links While it's easy to say that the gathering violated the lockdown parameters, the bigger question is why was nothing done about it. The Ministry of External Affairs issued the tourist visas for foreigners who wished to take part in the Tablighi Jamaat activities. The Delhi government and Delhi police were tasked with ensuring that their order should have been followed through. In fact, the Hazrat Nizamuddin Police Station is right next to the Nizamuddin Markaz. Delhi government claims that the gathering was a criminal act. The congregation should have dispersed once the the directive prohibiting public gathering under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 and the Delhi Epidemic Diseases COVID-19 Regulation, 2020 was in place. A case has been registered against Maulana Saad, head of the Tablighi Jamaat, and others officials of the group of defying the lockdown. <div type="image" title="niz3" msid="74915643" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi on March 31&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> "The lockdown was imposed imposed on March 24 and it was the duty of every owner and administrator of every hotel, guesthouse, hostel and similar establishment to maintain social distancing," said the government's statement. According to Markaz officials, no new people were allowed to enter the building after the lockdown was announced and as per Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement, they stay put instead of risking movement. They assert that the gathering had already begun before either Kerjiwal or Modi's lockdown announcements. The letter by Malauna Yusf on behalf of the Markaz mosque also pointed out that the Delhi government knew about the situation at Nizamuddin. The Health Ministry had found that on March 21, there were 1,746 people at Markaz of which 216 were foreigners, according to PTI. <div type="twitter" handle="ANI" handlename="ANI" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1497864299/ani_mic_logo_normal.jpg" favoritecount="10987" retweetcount="3044" status="Home Ministry has found violation of visa rules by foreigners who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Nizamuddin, Del… https://t.co/Rdrsj9GzGr" createdat="1585635328000" id="1244870910886047746"></div> Nizamuddin Coronavirus timeline The religious gathering begun on March 13 and Delhi's lockdown was only announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 16. However once the the announcement was made, the people at Nizammudin Markaz did not evacuate to implement social distancing. It was on March 23, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Janata Curfew, that around 1,500 people finally left the premises. A day later, the nationwide lockdown was put into place for the next 21 days. Adhering the the new regulations, the Nizamuddin Police reportedly asked the people who were still at the Markaz to leave on March 24. However, nearly 1,000 people continued to stay put despite the lockdown orders. A day later, on March 25, a medical team finally visits the building — isolating those who are suspected of having Coronavirus in an empty hall within the Markaz. Only then do the Jamaat officials go the authorities to file an application for passes in order to vacate the area. According to the deputy chairman of the SDMC standing committee, Rajpal Singh, the Markaz building is an unauthorised construction. He has asked the district commissioner of the central zone to seal the building. <div type="image" title="niz4" msid="74915727" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nizamuddin area in Delhi completely sealed and with a makeshift tents to test for coronavirus &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to the Delhi Police, they sent two notices, on March 23 and March 28, to the mosque committee asking them to vacate but were ignored. There are over 20,000 residents in the area who may have been exposed to someone with Covid-19. In addition, the Nizamuddin Sufi shrine is a tourist attraction where people gather in large numbers — from all across the country and the world. <div type="image" title="niza3" msid="74907944" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Medical camps set up in the Nizamuddin area&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Sealing off Nizamuddin Special teams have been deployed to track who came into contact with the deceased at the event, to test them for Coronavirus and ensure that they remain under quarantine until cleared. Drones are also being used to monitor the area around the Markaz building. The Telangana government also offered free tests and treatment to anyone who was at the event, if they came forward. To keep the infection from spreading, the entire area has been cordoned off by the police and paramilitary personnel. A screening camp has been established to keep track of any individual who exhibits symptoms of Coronavirus. A team of 54 workers and tankers has been deployed equipped with 30,000 litres of disinfectant. <div type="image" title="niz5" msid="74915741" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Men wearing a protective facemasks sit on a special service bus taking them to a quarantine facility amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Delhi government has requested the Sports Authority of India to convert the Nehru Stadium into a quarantine centre to accomodate the hundreds of people who were present in Nizamuddin during the religious gathering.

The total coronavirus caseload stood at 10,00,202 while there were 25,553 deaths from the disease, according to a PTI tally at 9.30 pm based on reports from states and union territories. India is ranked third in the global COVID-19 tally after the US and Brazil. According to the Union Health Ministry, India has 3,31,146 active COVID-19 cases, which is around a third of the country's infection tally. It credited targeted measures for the steady decline in the active caseload. The ministry data updated at 8 am on Thursday showed the country's COVID-19 tally rose to 9,68,876 with a record single-day spike of 32,695 cases while the death toll climbed to 24,915 with 606 new fatalities. It was for the fifth consecutive day that COVID-19 cases have increased by more than 28,000. The huge surge in cases has led several states to reimpose lockdown for varying periods. Just two states -- Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu -- account for 48 per cent of the country's total active caseload, the health ministry said. Ten states including Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu reported 84.62 per cent of the total active caseload, it said, adding the Centre continues to handhold these states in matters of containment and effective clinical management. Maharashtra on Thursday recorded its highest single day spike of 8,641 new coroanvirus cases, taking the tally to 2,84,281, the state health department said. With 266 new fatalities being recorded, the death toll due to the pandemic reached 11,194, it said in a statement. Tamil Nadu's tally of positive cases stood at 1,56,369 with the addition of 4,549 new cases, a health department bulletin said. The death toll stood at 2,236. Delhi is the only other state or union territory to have over one lakh COVID-19 cases and it is in the third position with a tally of 1,18,645 while the death toll mounted to 3,545, authorities said. This is the sixth consecutive day when fresh coronavirus cases have been reported in the national capital in the range of 1,000-2,000. India's first COVID-19 case was detected on January 30 in Kerala. "Of the total COVID-19 cases, 63.25 per cent have recovered so far. Simultaneously, there has been a steady dip in the number of active cases, from around 45 per cent in mid-June to around 34.18 per cent as of now," the health ministry said. A total of 20,783 people have recuperated in the past 24 hours, the highest number of recoveries in a day, taking the total number of recovered cases to 6,12,814. "Focus on early identification and clinical management is aiding recoveries in COVID-19 patients. Now, the recoveries exceed active cases by 2,81,669," the ministry said. The recoveries are 1.85 times the number of active cases, it added. The ministry said the recovery rate rose to 50 per cent mid-June and thereafter there has been a steady rise in recoveries and a decline in the number of active cases. The ministry said the actual caseload of COVID-19 has remained limited and manageable due to proactive containment measures such as house-to-house survey, perimeter control activities, timely contact tracing, <keyword id="9244904" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="aggressive-testing">aggressive testing</keyword> and timely diagnosis, and effective clinical management of moderate and severe cases through a well-implemented standard of care protocol increasing their chances of recovery. Hospital infrastructure includes 1,381 Dedicated <keyword id="8954969" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="covid-hospitals">COVID Hospitals</keyword>, 3,100 Dedicated COVID Healthcare Centres and 10,367 COVID Care Centres with a total of 46,666 ICU beds. "Collaborative strategy among the Centre and states has also ensured that the growth of COVID-19 cases is restricted to certain pockets of the country," the ministry said in a statement. The ministry said that as per the test, trace, treat strategy, the central government is driving enhanced testing initiatives in states and union territories as a result, of which there has been a steady rise in the number of testing labs across the country. The increased testing is in accordance with the Indian Council of Medical Research(ICMR) guidelines and has helped in early detection of cases. The testing includes the RT-PCR which is the golden standard of the COVID-19 testing. This has been augmented with Rapid Antigen Point of Care (POC) testing that gives results within half-hour. "This has resulted in ramped up testing in the containment and buffer zones. This has significantly helped in controlling the spread of the infection," the ministry said. The ministry said that 3,26,826 samples have been tested for COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. The cumulative number of 1,27,39,490 samples tested so far has translated to a figure of 9231.5 testing per million for India. All registered medical practitioners can now recommend testing. This coupled with the facilitation of widespread testing by states and UTs through the RT-PCR, TrueNat and CBNAAT lab network has contributed to a surge in the number of samples tested, it said. The testing lab network in the country is further strengthened with 1.234 labs in the country; 874 labs in the government sector and 360 private labs. Joint efforts by the Centre, states and Union Territories to increase testing capacity, ramping up health infrastructure, prioritising surveillance in SARI/ILI cases, and ensuring mapping of the aged population and those with comorbidities have led to continuous improvement in recovery rates across India, the ministry added.
