India’s daily Covid cases top 1.40 lakh, Omicron count mounts to 3,071

India’s single-day coronavirus disease cases (Covid-19) reportedly crossed the 140,000 mark after another surge of 1.41 and 986 cases on Saturday. It was the second day in a row that the country recorded more than 100,000 Covid-19 cases in a 24-hour period, according to a morning update from the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Saturday’s figure was 21% higher than the previous day, bringing the total number of Covid-19 in India to 3,53,68,372.

The number of active cases also rose sharply after as many as 100,806 new infections were added in the past 24 hours, health ministry figures showed. So far, the number of active cases in the country has reached as high as 472,169, accounting for 1.34% of the total number of cases. Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are the regions with the most active cases in the country.

India’s daily positivity rate has now reached 9.28%, while the weekly positivity rate is 5.66%.

After 285 patients died of the disease, the number of new deaths due to Covid-19 continued to decline, down from 302 on Friday. As many as 534 people died from the virus in the country on Thursday.

The total number of patients who have recovered from the virus shot up to 3,44,12,740 after as many as 40,895 recovered in the past 24 hours, according to the latest update from the Ministry of Health. This shows that the trend of new recovery in the country remains unchanged, which also provides relief from the dire situation.

This rise in daily infections is being driven by the Omicron variant, which was first discovered in South Africa. Since being detected in India in December last year, cases of the highly transmissible variant have topped 3,000. The Omicron tally of the country rose to 3,071 on Saturday, with Maharashtra and Delhi holding the top slots with 876 and 513 cases, respectively.

As many as 90,59,360 Covid-19 vaccine shots were administered to eligible beneficiaries in the last 24 hours, which includes a total of 32,55,915 teenagers as well. With this, India’s cumulative vaccination coverage has surpassed 150.06 crore.
