India tests more than 6 lakh tests in 24 hours, for 2nd
day in a row
More than 2.14 crore samples tested cumulatively
Tests Per Million (TPM) rises to 15568
Posted On: 05 AUG 2020 3:43PM by PIB Delhi
India has continued testing more than 6 lakh COVID-19
samples for the second consecutive day. The resolve of Union and State/UT
Governments to follow aggressive testing as the first important step in the
early detection and treatment/home isolation of COVID-19 positive cases has
resulted in India rapidly increasing the number of tests done per day.
The graded and evolving response resulted in a testing
strategy that steadily widened the testing network in the country. With
6,19,652 tests conducted in last 24 hours, the cumulative testing as on date
has reached 2,14,84,402. The Tests Per Million has seen a sharp increase to
15568.
To keep up with the comprehensive “TEST, TRACK and
TREAT” strategy, the testing lab network in the country is being continuously
strengthened. The lab network as on today consists of 1366 labs in the country
with 920 labs in the government sector and 446 private labs. These include:
• Real-Time RT PCR based testing labs: 696 (Govt: 421 + Private: 275)
• TrueNat based testing labs: 561 (Govt: 467 + Private: 94)
• CBNAAT based testing labs: 109 (Govt: 32 + Private: 77)

India records highest ever single day recoveries of
51,706
Recovery Rate reaches a record high of 67.19%
Case Fatality Rate (CFR) further dips to 2.09%
Posted On: 05 AUG 2020 2:47PM by PIB Delhi
India has recorded the highest ever single day
recoveries in the last 24 hours. With a sharp increase of 51,706 COVID-19
patients recovering, the recovery rate has reached a new high of 67.19% and
continues to improve each day. The recoveries till now total up to 12,82,215,
more than twice the active cases.
With increasing number of COVID-19 patients recovering,
there has been a 63.8% increase in recovered cases in the last 14 days,
indicating that the COVID-19 response and management driven by the Centre’s
“TEST, TRACK, TREAT” strategy is yielding the desired results.
The aggressive testing along with ramped up hospital
infrastructure by collective efforts of the public and private sectors has
ensured the increasing Recovery Rate which has improved from 63% to 67% in the
last 14 days.
With such consistent increase in recoveries, the gap
between recovered patients and active COVID-19 cases has reached nearly 7 lakh.
Due to the record highest daily recoveries, the active cases have reduced to
5,86,244 (less than 5,86,298 recorded yesterday) and all are under medical
supervision.
Coordinated implementation of “Test, Track, Treat”
strategy by the Union and State/UT governments has ensured that the CFR has
been low when compared to the global scenario and it has been progressively
falling. The Case Fatality Rate stands at 2.09% today.
