The active cases in the country witnessed a decline of nearly 9 thousand 600 cases in the past 24 hours to stand at around 3 lakh 22 thousand.

The total recovered cases in the country today stands at nearly 30 times the number of active cases. The Health Ministry has informed that enhanced countrywide medical infrastructure, implementation of the Centre’s Standard Treatment Protocol by the States and Union Territories and total dedication and commitment of doctors, paramedics and frontline workers have led to a persistent increase in the number of total recoveries in the country. The Health Ministry has said that this has also led to a commensurate dip in the fatality rate which stands at 1.45 per cent. It informed that 355 case fatalities were reported in the past 24 hours.
