New Delhi:Keeping the record of COVID-19 recovery steady for the 44th day, 43,851 patients have recovered in the last 24 hours in India against just 30,548 new cases, said the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) on Monday.
"India continued an unbroken trend of daily new recoveries outpacing daily new additions for the 44th day," the statement said.
This translates to a net reduction of 13,303 in active caseload, which is now at 4,65,478, the MoHFW stated.
Daily new cases numbering 30,548 is a historic low that assumes significance given many countries in Europe and America are experiencing a continuous steep rise in daily new cases, said an official statement.
The government's efforts to continue to maintain high levels of comprehensive testing have resulted in bringing down the net positivity to sustained low levels.
The recovery rate has improved to 93.27 per cent today. The total recovered cases stand at 82,49,579, the Health Ministry stated.
