With 1,278 new coronavirus cases emerging in the last 24 hours, Gujarat's tally went past 1.47 lakh on Thursday, while 1,266 more patients recovered from the infection, the state Health Department said.

A release by the Health Department said Gujarat's tally of positive cases went up to 1,47,951 with the addition of the new



infections.

Notably, 1,278 fresh cases suggest a drop of around 150 infections from average daily cases of last month. The drop, however, corresponds with reduction in daily tests.

As against 70,000-odd tests conducted on an average daily last month, the government said 52,465 tests were conducted during the last 24 hours.
