New Delhi (NVI): India reported the highest single-day recoveries at 29,557 in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of recovered cases to 7,82,606. With this the COVID-19 recovery rate has also improved further and stands at 63.18 percent. According to Health Ministry.
For the second day in a row, recoveries in a single day continue to post significant rise.
Higher number of patients getting cured and discharged has contributed to increasing gap between recovered and total active cases. It is pegged at 3,56,439 as of today.
This accomplishment can be attributed to the Central Government led COVID-19 management strategies. Sustained efforts by the Center and and state and UT governments are resulting in more effective containment, aggressive testing, and prompt and efficient clinical treatment strategies.
While the national recovery rate has improved, 19 states and UTs have posted a recovery rate higher than the national average.
Delhi tops the list with 84.83 percent recovery and all northern states are in the list, including Ladakh at 84.31 percent, which has the best recovery rate in India after Delhi.
The Union Government continues to coordinate with the efforts of the States and UTs by sending Central teams of experts to areas witnessing increase in caseload and handholding of COVID hospitals in states through the tele-consultation program led by AIIMS, New Delhi.
These combined efforts have resulted in Case Fatality Rate being managed at low levels. It is 2.41 percent, as on date, and steadily declining.
Furthermore, this has also helped in reducing the actual case load of COVID-19 cases which remains confined to 4,26,167 active patients currently.
