in a single day
Total recoveries nearly 17 lakhs
On a continuous slide, Case Fatality Rate further improves to 1.96%
Posted On: 13 AUG 2020 2:44PM by PIB Delhi
India touched another peak of highest ever single day
recoveries of 56,383 in a single day. With this number, the total recovered
COVID-19 patients have touched nearly 17 lakh (16,95,982) today.
The concerted, focussed and collaborative efforts of the
Centre and the State/UT governments along with support of lakhs of frontline
workers have ensured the successful implementation of TESTING aggressively,
TRACKING comprehensively & TREATING efficiently through an array of
measures including supervised home isolation, and effective clinical management
of severe and critical patients through the Standard of Care advised by the
Centre. With increasing number of recoveries, while the Recovery Rate has
crossed 70% (70.77% today), the case mortality among COVID patients has further
regressed to 1.96%, and steadily declining.
The record high recoveries have ensured that the actual
caseload of the country which is the Active Cases has reduced and currently is
only 27.27% of the total positive cases. The recoveries exceed the active cases
(6,53,622) by more than 10 lakh.

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
India conducts a record high of more than 8.3 lakh tests
in a single day
More than 2.68 crore samples tested as on today
Tests Per Million (TPM) jumps to 19,453
Posted On: 13 AUG 2020 6:13PM by PIB Delhi
Crossing the 8 lakh/day
milestone of tests in a single day, India has registered a record high of
8,30,391 tests conducted in the last 24 hours in India. In pursuance of the
“Test, Track and Treat” strategy, India is geared up to reach the testing
capacity of 10 lakh tests per day.
The strong resolve and
determination of Union and State/UT Governments to follow aggressive testing as
the first important step in the early detection and isolation of COVID-19
positive cases has resulted in India rapidly increasing the number of tests
done per day. The week-wise average daily tests conducted saw a sharp increase
from around 2.3 lakh in the first week of July 2020 to more than 6.3 lakh in
the current week.
With a record high more than 8
lakh tests done in the last 24 hours, the cumulative testing as on date has
jumped to 2,68,45,688 crore. The Tests Per Million has seen a sharp increase to
19453.
A strong determinant of this
milestone has been the sustained expansion of testing labs across the country.
From merely one lab in January 2020, the country is today enriched by 1433 labs
with 947 in the government sector and 486 private labs. This is a testimony to
the coordinated efforts of the Centre and the State/UT governments.
The different types of labs
include:
• Real-Time RT PCR based testing labs: 733
(Govt: 434 + Private: 299)
• TrueNat based testing labs: 583 (Govt:
480 + Private: 103)
• CBNAAT based testing labs: 117
(Govt: 33 + Private: 84)

Union Govt reaches the landmark of distributing more
than 3 Cr N95 Masks to States
More than 1.28 Cr PPEs and 10 cr HCQ distributed Free of Cost by Central
Government
Posted On: 13 AUG 2020 10:23AM by PIB Delhi
In the relentless work of State/UT
governments for containment and management of COVID-19, the Union Government’s
central role has been in strengthening health infrastructure to fight the
pandemic and its effective management.
Along with augmenting COVID-19
facilities, the Union Government has been providing medical supplies free of
cost to the State/UT governments to supplement their efforts. Most of the
products supplied by Government of India were not being manufactured in the
country in the beginning. The rising global demand due to the pandemic resulted
in their scarce availability in the foreign markets.
With the combined efforts of Ministry
of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of Textiles and Ministry of
Pharmaceuticals, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade
(DPIIT), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and others, the
domestic industry has been encouraged and facilitated to manufacture and supply
essential medical equipment like PPEs, N95 masks, ventilators etc., during this
period. As a result, resolve for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ has
been strengthened and most of the supplies made by the Union Government are
domestically manufactured.
Since 11th March 2020, the Union Government
has distributed more than 3.04 crore N95 masks and more than 1.28 crore PPE
kits to States / UTs / Central Institutions, free of cost. Also, more than
10.83 crore HCQ tablets have been distributed to them.
In addition, 22533 ‘Make in India’
ventilators have been delivered to various States / UTs / Central
Institutions. The Centre is also ensuring their installation and commissioning.
