India's COVID-19 recoveries have crossed the historic
peak of 1.5 million today. Recovery of 15,35,743 patients has been made
possible because of the policy of TESTING aggressively, TRACKING
comprehensively & TREATING efficiently. Better ambulance services, focus on
Standard of Care and use of non-invasive oxygen have given the desired results.
With the highest ever single day recoveries of 54,859 in
the last 24 hours, the Recovery Rate amongst the COVID-19 patients has scaled
another high of almost 70%.
The record high recoveries have ensured that the actual
caseload of the country viz. the active cases has reduced and currently
comprises only 28.66% of the total positive cases. India has posted more than 9
lakh recoveries than the active cases (6,34,945).
The coordinated efforts of Centre and State/UT governments on early detection through aggressive testing and efficient clinical management of hospitalized cases have shown results with continuously regressing Case Fatality Rate. It is 2%, as on date, and steadily declining. Early identification of cases has also led to steeply falling percentage active cases.
Early identification helps to ensure timely and prompt isolation of the mild and moderate cases and hospitalisation of the severe and critical cases thereby leading to effective management of cases.
It is important to note that the COVID-19 infection
still remains concentrated in 10 States that contribute more than 80% of the
new cases. The aggressive testing and tracking through house-to-house surveys
and well implemented containment strategies and surveillance in these areas may
lead to an initial increase in positive cases. However, well implemented
strategies will ensure it reduces over time.
