New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry has said the gap between the percentage of recovered cases and active cases progressively growing wide.
“More than 3/4 of total cases (more than 36 lakhs) recovered and discharged. Active Cases (less than 10.5 lakhs) only a small proportion (less than 1/4) of total cases,” it said.
“Centre-led COVID-19 management strategies have focused on early detection through widespread, easy & aggressive testing; standardised quality and effective treatment in hospitals and supervised home/facility isolation and reducing mortality,” it added.
The Union Health Ministry has initiated an exercise to document data on post-Covid complications as part of which the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is likely to carry out a telephonic survey among recovered patients in the country using existing database.
The Ministry has drafted a format for gathering the information on post-Covid-19 complications faced by patients from across States and Union Territories.
