New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry has claimed that India’s Covid-19 recoveries crossed the 60-lakh mark, while less than 1000 coronavirus deaths have been recorded daily for eight consecutive days.
Active cases of coronavirus are less than nine lakh for the third day in a row. With increasing recoveries, India has sustained its leading global position with the maximum recovered cases.
According to the Ministry, the five top States with the maximum caseload (61 per cent of the active cases) are also contributing more than half (54.3 per cent) of the total recoveries.
“Enhanced countrywide medical infrastructure, implementation of the Centre’s standard treatment protocol by the states and UTs, and total dedication and commitment of doctors, paramedics and frontline workers have led to a consistent slide in the number of daily fatalities and a persistent increase in the number of total recoveries,” it added.
“For the last eight consecutive days, new deaths recorded are less than 1,000,” it highlighted.
The five top States –Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu — with the maximum Covid-19 caseload (61 per cent of the active cases) are also contributing more than half (54.3 per cent) of the total recoveries, the Ministry said.
It said that 80 per cent of the new recovered cases are being reported from ten states and UTs –Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Delhi and Chhattisgarh.
