The active caseload of the country also continues to remain below 5 per cent. The total active cases in the country today stands at four lakh 35 thousand 603 which comprises merely 4.60 per cent of the total reported cases. The Health



Ministry has informed that nearly 78 percent of the new covid cases are concentrated in 10 states and Union territories of Delhi, Maharashtra , Kerala, West Bengal, Haryana and Rajasthan among others. 

It said that enhanced countrywide medical infrastructure, implementation of the Centre’s Standard Treatment Protocol by the States and Union Territories and total dedication and commitment of doctors, paramedics and frontline workers have led to a persistent increase in the number of total recoveries in the country.

 

The Health Ministry has said that this has also led to a commensurate dip in the fatality rate which stands at 1.45 per cent. It informed that 482 case fatalities were reported in the past 24 hours.
