India recorded the highest number of highest Covid-19 patients, 54,865 in the world as well as the highest number of recoveries, 51,225 during the past 24 hours in a day.

A staggering recovery of more than 51,225 was registered in India in the last 24 hours. “With 51,225 patients cured and discharged, India’s total recoveries from COVID-19 have touched 11,45,629,” said a senior officer of the Home Minister here on Sunday. Besides India has one of the lowest Case Fatality Rate (CFR) at 2.13% as compared to the global average, the Ministry said.

With the highest-ever single-day increase in recovered patients in the last 24 hours, the recovery rate has seen a high of 65.44%. This means that more and more COVID-19 patients are getting cured and discharged, the officer said.

“Coordinated implementation of COVID-19 management strategy by the Union and State/UT governments and selfless sacrifice of all frontline health and other workers and COVID-19 warriors across sectors have ensured that the recoveries are continuously on the rise,” the Home Ministry claimed.

The gap between the recoveries and the active cases has seen a steady rise. On June 10, for the first time, the total number of recovered patients exceeded the active cases with a difference of 1,573 which has increased to 5,77,899 as on today. The active cases are the actual case load for India and currently, the active cases account for 32.43% of the total cases. All active cases are under medical supervision either in hospitals or in-home isolation, it said.

The successful and coordinated implementation of the effective containment strategy, aggressive testing and standardized clinical management protocols based on a comprehensive Standard of Care framework. This has resulted in a consistent trend of rising Recovery Rate and progressively reducing Case Fatality Rate.
