India’s COVID-19 recovery rate: The Centre on Thursday said that the number of patients cured of Covid-19 in India has reached 8,324 – almost 26 per cent of the all infected by the deadly virus.
The current doubling rate for COVID-19 cases has improved to 11 days as against 3.4 days before the lockdown was imposed, while the case fatality has been recorded at 3.2 percent. That means now it takes 11 days for Covid-19 cases to become 200 percent as compared to 3.4 days before the lockdown, the Health Ministry said.
Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary at the Health Ministry, said, “Total cases in the country stand at 33,050. Of them, 23,651 are under active medical supervision. The recovery rate has improved from 13.06 percent to 25.19 percent in 14 days, which is a positive sign.”
The Health Ministry also said that while 1,718 new cases were reported in the past 24 hours, 630 patients have been cured during this period. In total, 8,324 people have been cured so far, while 1,074 persons have succumbed to the dreaded virus.
