63,631recoveries
Total recoveries cross 22 lakh
Recoveries exceed the active cases by more than 15 lakh
Posted On: 22 AUG 2020 3:33PM by PIB Delhi
On the day, India’s daily tests
have scaled a new peak of 10 lakh 23 thousand,India has achieved another
milestone as it recorded highest ever single day recoveries of 63,631 in
the last 24 hours.
With this high number of
COVID-19 patients recovering and being discharged from the hospitals and home
isolation (in case of mild and moderate cases), the Recovery Rate has reached
74.69%.This has also led to declining Case Fatality Rate, which stands at a new
low of 1.87% today.
India’s total recoveries now
exceed thetotal active cases (6,97,330) by more than 15 lakhs.The record high
recoveries have ensured that the actual caseload of the country viz. the active
cases, has reduced and currently comprises only 23.43% of the total positive
cases. Early identification through aggressive TESTING, comprehensive
surveillance & contact TRACING along with focus on timely and efficient
clinical TREATMENT of patients have ensured speedy recovery.Higher number of
recoveries and declining fatality have shown that India's graded and pro-active
strategyis delivering results on the field.
Building on the continuum of
care approach, the policy of TESTING aggressively, TRACKING comprehensively
& TREATING efficiently, focussed attention on effective surveillance and
house-to-house contact tracing has led to early detection and identification of
COVID-19 cases. The mild and moderate cases are treated under supervised home
isolation. As per the standardized clinical management protocol based on the
holistic Standard of Care approach, the critical and severe patients are hospitalised
and provided the best medical care.

India crosses a crucial milestone in the fight against
COVID-19
Tests more than 10 lakh people in a day
Posted On: 22 AUG 2020 12:31PM by PIB Delhi
Keeping to its promise of
exponentially increasing the daily COVID-19 tests to 10 lakhs, India has
crossed the significant milestone in its fight against COVID today.
In a testament to the
determined, focussed, consistent and coordinated efforts of the Centre and the
State/UT governments, India has conducted 1 million tests in the past 24 hours.
With 10,23,836 tests done yesterday, India has achieved its resolve to test 10
lakh samples daily.
With this achievement, the
cumulative tests are more than 3.4 crore (3,44,91,073).
The number of daily tests has
been increasing in a steep climb. Average daily tests during the past three weeks
also strongly depict the progress made in enhancement of COVID-19 tests across
the country.
As has been reported from
States/UTs that have pushed ahead with aggressive testing, there is a
commensurate decline in the positivity rate. Although higher number of tests
will initially lead to a rise in the positivity rate, it will eventually lower
when combined with other measures such as prompt isolation, efficient tracking,
and timely effective and clinical management.
Combined with enhanced testing,
policy decisions of the Centre and the States/UTs have facilitated easy testing
across the country. This has boosted the daily testing capacity.
Enhanced diagnostic lab network
has also sided in this achievement. Today, the country has a strong network of
1511 labs comprising 983 labs in the government sector and 528 private labs.
These include:
• Real-Time RT PCR based testing labs: 778
(Govt: 458 + Private: 320)
• TrueNat based testing labs: 615
(Govt: 491 + Private: 124)
• CBNAAT based testing labs: 118
(Govt: 34 + Private: 84)

Ministry of Home Affairs
MHA asks States to allow unhindered movement of persons
and goods and services during Unlock-3
Restrictions at local level imposed by District Administrations or by State
Governments is violation of MHA guidelines under DMA, 2005 provisions
Posted On: 22 AUG 2020 5:31PM by PIB Delhi
The Centre has asked the States
that there should be no restrictions imposed on inter-State and intra-State
movement of persons and goods and services during the present prevailing
Unlock-3 guidelines.
In a communication to Chief
Secretaries of all States today, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has
stated that it has been reported that local level restrictions on movement are
being imposed by various districts/States. Such restrictions are creating
problems in inter-State movement of goods and services and are impacting the
supply chain, resulting in disruption of economic activities and employment,
besides affecting supply of goods and services.
The MHA has said such
restrictions at local level imposed by District Administrations or by States,
amount to violation of the guidelines issued by the MHA under the provisions of
the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
Drawing attention to the MHA’s
Order dated July 29, 2020 specifying Guidelines for Unlock-3, the communication
reiterates that there shall be no restriction on inter-State and Intra-State
movement of persons and goods. No separate permission/ approval/ e-permit will
be required for such movements. This includes movement of persons and
goods for cross land border trade under Treaties with neighbouring countries.
