The country is registering a continuous increase in the number of patients recovered from COVID-19. With recovery of over 81,000 people in the last 24 hours the total recovery tally has crossed over 47,56,000. The overall recovery rate has now reached 81.74 %.

The Health Ministry has said that the gap between recovered cases and active cases is progressively growing wide. Actual caseload of the country currently comprises only 16.67 % of the total positive cases. The number of recovered patients has overtaken the active cases by nearly 5 times. Unprecedented surge in COVID-19 recoveries with more than 100 % increase in patients recovered and discharged in the last one month has also been reported.

The Health Ministry has informed that the sustained high recovery rate is fuelled by 9 states and Union Territories reporting recovery rate of over 80 %. These states include Bihar, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Gujarat among others.
