On a continuous upward trajectory,
Various calibrated and focussed actions undertaken within the
umbrella strategy of TEST, TRACK and TREAT have enabled early identification of cases
through aggressive and wide scale testing. Better ambulance services and
seamless point-to-point management of patients to facilitate their timely
hospitalisation before their health deteriorates has led to a high number of
COVID-19 patients recovering and being discharged from the hospitals. This has
also resulted in the declining Case Fatality Rate, which stands at a new low of 1.70% today. Supervised isolation in homes and facility settings,
following effective Standard of Care protocol, has hugely aided recovery of
mild and moderate cases.
Five States are contributing 60% of total cases with

1.33 crore COVID tests conducted in the last 2 weeks
Posted On: 07 SEP 2020 6:30PM by PIB
As a result of the country-wide ramped up testing, 1,33,33,904 tests were conducted in the last two weeks alone.
The Centre’s policies are continuously evolving in the larger
global context. Following on the heels of several measures to facilitate wider
testing by the people, recently the Union Government has issued the revised and
updated Advisory which provides for the first time ‘Testing on Demand”. The
States/UTs have also been given wider flexibilities to simplify modalities to
enable higher levels of testing.
The
daily testing average had been on a continuous upward incline from around 7
lakh tests being conducted per day in the 3rd week
of August to 10 lakh tests per day in the 1st week
of September.
Higher testing enables early identification of confirmed
cases, which in turn leads to timely initiation of effective treatment in
supervised home/facility isolation or in hospitals. These measures aid
faster and higher numbers of recovery, lower fatality and saving of more lives.
