The centre said while the number of discharged rose to 385, the total number of deaths increased by 17 or 25 percent from 68 recorded on Friday to 85 on Saturday. Another indication of the deteriorating state of things despite the Federal Government’s decision to temporarily ease restrictions to allow partial movements and commerce in certain sectors in the three most affected states.
