On Tuesday, India’s daily Covid-19 tally slipped below 3,000 for the first time in a week. According to the latest data from the Union health ministry, the country reported 2,288 new cases in the last 24 hours, a decrease of 919 instances from the previous day’s total of 3,207, bringing the total number of infections to 43,107,689 so far.
In the same time period, ten deaths were reported, bringing the total number of deaths since the outbreak to 5,24,103.
The study also revealed that active cases currently account for 0.05 percent of all illnesses. After 3,044 patients recovered from the viral sickness in the same time period, the national recovery rate reached 98.74 percent. The total number of recoveries now stands at 4,25,63,949.
The number of tests completed the day before to detect the Covid-19 infection totaled 4,84,843, according to the health ministry. On the immunisation front, a total of 1,90,50,86,706 vaccines had been administered, with 13,90,912 delivered on Monday.
A few days ago, new diseases began to spread across the country, including Delhi and Maharashtra. A surge in cases from January to February was fueled by the highly transmissible Omicron strain.
The daily Covid tally, on the other hand, has been trending downward for the past two days, with infections now falling below the 3000-mark.
The World Health Organization’s recent report on unreported deaths made headlines because it estimated that 4.7 million people died in India as a result of Covid-19, compared to the government’s estimate of 4,80,000. In light of the availability of accurate data, the government denied the study and voiced its objections to the use of a “mathematical model” for forecasting excess mortality numbers.
