Yesterday recorded the highest
ever recoveries in a single day. 36,145 COVID-19 patients were cured and
discharged in the last 24 hours. This has taken the total number of recovered
cases to 8,85,576. The recovery rate has achieved another high of fast
approaching 64%. It stands at 63.92% today. This means more patients are
recovering thus maintaining the steadily widening difference between recovered
and active COVID-19 patients. This gap has crossed 4 lakh and currently stands
at 4,17,694. Recovered cases are 1.89 times the active cases (4,67,882).
The Union government has advised
all State/UT governments to keep up with and effectively implement the strategy
of “Test, Track and Treat”. For the first time a record number of more than
4,40,000 tests have been conducted in a single day. With 4,42,263 samples
tested in the last 24 hours, the number of Test Per Million (TPM) has further
increased to 11,805 and cumulative testing to 1,62,91,331. For the first time,
Government labs have set a new record of testing 3,62,153 samples. The private
labs have also scaled a new high of 79,878 samples tested in a single day.
The aggressive testing along
with ramped up hospital infrastructure by combining public and private sector
efforts has enabled early identification and prompt triaging of COVID-19
patients leading to lower fatalities. As a result, the Case Fatality Rate is
progressively falling and currently, it is 2.31%. India has one of the lowest
fatality rates in the world.
