India on Thursday reported a record daily rise of 6,148 deaths from Covid-19 over the past 24 hours, and 94,052 new daily coronavirus cases.
The death tally was the highest-ever because it included Bihar’s previously uncounted 3,951 deaths. If we discount Bihar’s revised toll, a total of 2,197 deaths were reported in the last 24 hours.
The total Covid-19 case load now stands at 2,91,83,121, while total fatalities are at 3,59,676, according to data from the health ministry.
