COVID recoveries reach over 48.4 lakh with 93,420 cured in a day

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The total number of recoveries from COVID-19 surged to 48,49,584 on Saturday with 93,420 patients recuperating from the disease in a day which is more than the number of fresh cases recorded during the same period, the union health ministry said.

With the recovery rate rising to 82.14 per cent, the ministry said India has maintained its top global ranking in total recoveries with such high successive single-day numbers.”As India records more recoveries than new cases, the gap between recovered and active cases is continuously widening.

 The recoveries are more than five times the active cases of coronavirus infection,” it said. The recovered cases exceed the active cases (9,60,969) by nearly 39 lakh. “This has also ensured that active cases account for merely 16.28 per cent of the total caseload. This has sustained on its steady declining path,” the ministry said.
