New Delhi, August 28
Covid-19 cases in India today surged to 33,87,500 with a record single-day rise of 77,266 infections. Recoveries, however, continued to improve with the national disease discharge rate reaching 76.28 per cent.
The death count reached 61,529 with 1,057 persons dying in 24 hours. The national fatality rate, however, dropped to 1.82 per cent, slowly inching towards the goal of 1 per cent.
The Health Ministry said active cases were now only 22 per cent of the total, while the recoveries exceeded active cases by over 18 lakh.
"Over the past five months, more than three-fourths of Covid-19 cases have recovered and less than one-fourth are active now. With more patients recovering and being discharged from home isolation and hospitals, India's cure count is nearing 26 lakh with 60,177 persons discharged in 24 hours," the ministry said. — TNS
