High recoveries push India’s Recovery Rate to nearly 75%
Recoveries exceed the Active Cases by nearly 16 lakh
One of the lowest globally, India’s Case Fatality Rate further dips
Posted On: 23 AUG 2020 2:50PM by PIB Delhi
A
consistently increasing number of recoveries has pushed India's Recovery Rate
amongst the COVID-19 patients to nearly 75%.
With the
recoveries of 57,989 COVID patients in the last 24 hours, the total number of
recoveries has reached 22,80,566 today.
India’s
total recoveries now exceed the total active cases (7,07,668) by nearly 16
lakhs (1,572,898).
As the
graph shows, the average daily number of recoveries is on a constant upward
move from 15,018 (1-7 July 2020) to 60,557 during the week of 19-13 August 2020.
The
constantly increasing recoveries have ensured that the actual caseload of the
country viz. the active cases, has reduced and currently comprises only 23.24%
of the total positive cases. This has also resulted in gradually falling
mortality rate. Currently at 1.86%, India’s Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is one of
the lowest globally. It has been made possible because by comprehensive and
sustained effectiveness of the Centre’s policy of TESTING aggressively,
TRACKING comprehensively & TREATING efficiently.
Higher
number of recoveries and declining mortality rate among COVID patients have
shown that India's graded and pro-active strategies are delivering results on
the field.

Maintaining daily testing spree of more than 8 lakhs,
India tests more than 3.5 crore
Tests Per Million (TPM) rise; pegged at 25,574 today
Posted On: 23 AUG 2020 1:30PM by PIB Delhi
Starting from one test in
January 2020 through a single lab in Pune, India has exceeded cumulative tests
of more than 3.5 crore today. Consistently testing more than 8 lakhs tests
since the last six days, with 8,01,147 COVID-19 tests in the past 24 hours, the
total has touched 3,52,92,220.
The steep rise in the testing is
a result of effective implementation of the aggressive testing strategy of the
Centre through a focussed and graded approach.
The rising average daily tests
during the past three weeks present a strong depiction of the progress made in
enhancement of COVID-19 tests across the country.
The rise in the daily testing
has been followed by decrease in the average daily positivity rate.
Keeping a sharp focus on the “Test,
Track and Treat” policy, the Tests Per Million have seen a boost touching
25,574 today. It is only by aggressive testing that the positive cases can be
identified, their contacts tracked in a timely manner and promptly isolated, as
well as the severe and critical patients provided the needed clinical treatment.
The TESTING strategy also
ensured a steady expansion of the national lab network. Today, with 983 labs in
the government sector and 532 private labs, 1515 labs are providing
comprehensive testing facilities to the people. These include:
• Real-Time RT PCR based testing labs: 780 (Govt: 458 + Private: 322)
• TrueNat based testing labs: 617 (Govt: 491 + Private: 126)
• CBNAAT based testing labs: 118 (Govt: 34 + Private: 84)
