The Union Government is committed to accelerating the pace and expanding the scope of COVID-19 vaccination throughout the country.

The recovery of 44,157 patients in the last 24 hours has increased the cumulative tally of recovered patients (since the beginning of the pandemic) to 3,16,80,626.

Consequently, India’s recovery rate stands at 97.63%, the highest since March 2020.

 

Sustained and collaborative efforts by the Centre and the States/UTs continue the trend of less than 50,000 Daily New Cases that is being reported for fifty-seven consecutive days now.

 25,072 new cases were reported in the last 24 hours, this is lowest in 160 days.

High recoveries and a low number of new cases have subsided the Active Caseload to 3,33,924 which is at its lowest in 155 days.  Active cases presently form only 1.03% of the country's total Positive Cases which is the lowest since March 2020.
