With nearly 16 lakh Recoveries, India’s Recovery rate
nearly 70%
Case Fatality Rate (CFR) falls below 2%
Posted On: 11 AUG 2020 2:03PM by PIB Delhi
The successful implementation of
effective containment strategy, aggressive and comprehensive testing coupled
with standardized clinical management of the critical patients based on
holistic Standard of Care approach, have resulted in a sharp hike in the
recovery rate, which is pegged at nearly 70% today.
With more patients recovering
and being discharged from hospitals and home isolation (in case of mild and
moderate cases), the total recoveries have jumped to 15,83,489 with 47,746
COVID-19 patients were discharged in the last 24 hours.
The actual case load of the
country is the active cases (6,39,929) which is only 28.21% of the total
positive cases. They are under active medical supervision.
With a consistent and sustained
increase in recoveries, the gap between recovered patients and active COVID-19
cases has reached nearly 9.5 lakh. India's TEST, TRACK, TREAT strategy is
showing the desired result- the gap between percentage Recoveries and
percentage Active Cases is growing every day.
Focus on improved and effective
clinical treatment in hospitals, use of non-invasive, improved and coordinated
services of the ambulances for ferrying patients for prompt and timely
treatment have resulted in seamless efficient patient management of COVID-19
patients. As a result, the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) has been low when compared
to the global average. It has fallen below 2% today, currently standing at
1.99%.
