''There has been a steady increase in active cases of corona in India for the last one week. The number of active cases has increased by more than 55,000 in the last seven days," Gehlot said in a tweet.
"The weekly positivity rate has also increased to 2.41 percent. The increase in active cases and positivity rate is a matter of concern,'' he added.

"Corona cases have increased rapidly in many countries of the world including America, Israel, Britain, Iran, Malaysia, Philippine, and Japan. A complete lockdown has been imposed in New Zealand," he added.
"We all need to be careful so that the situation in the state and the country does not deteriorate further and the third wave can be avoided,'' Gehlot added.
He said the corona infection is a serious disease and many problems occur even after the recovery from it. People should not become negligent and strictly follow the health protocol, he added.
