India's COVID-19 Recovery Rate Crosses 95%, Among Highest In World: Centre

The daily new cases recorded on Tuesday – 22,065 – were the lowest in over 5 months

New Delhi:

India’s active COVID-19 caseload has fallen below 3.4 lakh, a mere 3.43 per cent of the total infections, supplemented by an impressive recovery rate of over 95 per cent, which is among the highest in the world for countries with high caseloads, the Union Health Ministry said on Tuesday.

The daily new cases recorded on Tuesday – 22,065 – were also the lowest in over five months. As many as 22,252 cases were reported on July 7, the ministry said.

The number of recoveries have crossed 94 lakhs (94,22,636), pushing the national recovery rate to over 95 per cent, which is “one of the highest in the world for countries with high caseload”, the ministry underlined.

With a high number of patients recovering every day and the sustained fall in the mortality rate, the country’s steady trend of decline in active cases continues, the ministry said.

There are 3,39,820 active cases of coronavirus infections as on Tuesday.

The slide in the active cases is supplemented by an exponential rise in the recoveries.

“The gap between active cases and recovered cases is continuously increasing and stands at 90,82,816. The national recovery rate has further escalated to 95.12 per cent,” the ministry said.

A total 34,477 patients have recovered in a span of 24 hours, of whom 74.24 per cent are concentrated in 10 states and UTs, the ministry said in its data updated at 8 am Tuesday.
