India’s Recovery Rate leaps past 83%
Recovered Cases exceed Active Cases by more than 41.5 lakhs
Posted On: 29 SEP 2020 12:19PM India continues to report high number of recoveries. The recovered cases have exceeded the new confirmed again during the past 24 hours. With this, India’s Recovery Rate has leaped past 83% today.
84,877 recoveries have been registered in the last 24 hours in the country while the number of new confirmed cases stands at 70,589. The total number of recoveries has touched 51,01,397.
73% of the new recovered cases are being reported from ten States, viz. Maharashtra, Karnataka Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Odisha, Kerala, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.
Maharashtra is topping the list with nearly 20,000 recoveries while Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh both contribute more than 7,000 to the single day recoveries.
The sustained high level of recoveries have led to further widening of the gap between active and recovered cases. Recovered cases exceed the active cases (9,47,576 ) by more than 41.5 lakh (41,53,831). The recovered cases are 5.38 times the active cases ensuring that the recoveries are consistently rising.
The active caseload of the country presently is merely 15.42% of the total positive cases and is consistently declining.
The following two graphs depict the changing scenario of the active cases in the top ten states between 23rd and 29th September.
A total of 70,589 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours in the country.
10 States/UTs account for 73% of the new confirmed cases.
Maharashtra continues to lead this tally. It has contributed more than 11,000 followed by Karnataka with more than 6,000 cases.
There have been 776 deaths in the past 24 hours.
10 States/UTs account for 78% of the deaths in the last 24 hours due to COVID.
Of the new deaths, Maharashtra reported more than 23% of deaths with 180 deaths followed by Tamil Nadu with 70 deaths.
Today after a long time India see a remarkable decrease in new cases (less than 70,000), daily death came down to 777, and recovery increased by more than 85,000.

Total cases:5,816,103
75% of new confirmed cases found concentrated in 10 States/UTs
Posted On: 24 SEP 2020
For the sixth consecutive day, the number of new confirmed cases has been lower than the new recoveries.
A total of 86,508 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours in the country. 75% of the new confirmed cases are concentrated in 10 States/UTs.
Maharashtra continues to top this list. It has alone contributed more than 21,000 followed by Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka with more than more than 7,000 and 6,000 cases respectively.
1,129 deaths have been registered in the past 24 hours.
10 States/UTs account for 83% of the deaths in the last 24 hours due to COVID.
Maharashtra reported 479 deaths followed by Uttar Pradesh and Punjab with 87 and 64 deaths, respectively.
India has substantially ramped up its testing infrastructure across the country. As on date, there are 1810 labs including 1082 government and 728 private labs.
11,56,569 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours. The total number of tests has crossed 6.74 cr today.
India records the highest number of deaths and new cases in the world in COVID-19 cases, would continue to be on top for the coming months.
However, if there is any reason to be relaxed, it is the death rate, very low CFR (Case Fatality Rate), and the fact that India is conducting more than 7 lakhs tests a day. Presently, the health infrastructure is not as overloaded as we had seen in Spain, Italy, or in the USA.
No Need to Panic
People should not panic by the increasing number of cases. India is testing 7 lakhs, people, a day this practice has worked worldover. So is daily death cases, it is 1000+ presently, and when it would attain its peak, the daily death might touch 2000+ (as reported in Western countries).And since we have 137 crore population, this phase may last for a few months to get the peak. Again Peak would differ from state to state. Presently it has densely spread in 10 most populated states, in others, it is still in a spreading phase--may take a month or two.
Case Fatality Ratio, which estimates this proportion of deaths among identified confirmed cases, is almost 2 %--much less than what we had reported in Western Countries.
Health Infrastructure: If we ignore the initial rush and negligence in Delhi, Mumbai and Bihar (Patna), India health department has performed much better than other countries. Yet the actual test of COVID-19 would be seen in the coming months. So fa,r COVID-19 infection still remained concentrated in 10 States that contribute more than 80% of the new cases. It means Half of India has yet to see the COVID-19 impact in the coming months.
India is lucky in that respect that most crowded places are apparently getting 'herd immunity' and less populated areas are likely to see its impact. This way there would not be any major pressure on health Infrastructure.
Secondly, unlike, Spain, Italy or USA, doctors and authorities in India got sufficient time to prepare for Testing, tracking and Treatment (the three T strategy it had launched) to fight COVID 19.
Fast Recoveries:
India's COVID-19 recoveries have crossed the historic peak of 1.5 million today (August 10). Recovery of 15,35,743 patients has been made possible because of the policy of TESTING aggressively, TRACKING comprehensively and TREATING efficiently. Better ambulance services focus on Standard of Care and use of non-invasive oxygen have given the desired results.
With the highest-ever single-day recoveries of 54,859 in the last 24 hours, the Recovery Rate amongst the COVID-19 patients has scaled another high of almost 70%.
The record high recoveries have ensured that the actual caseload of the country viz. the active cases has reduced and currently comprises only 28.66% of the total positive cases. India has posted more than 9 lakh recoveries than the active cases (6,34,945).
The coordinated efforts of Centre and State/UT governments on early detection through aggressive testing and efficient clinical management of hospitalized cases have shown results with continuously regressing Case Fatality Rate. It is 2%, as on date, and steadily declining. Early identification of cases has also led to steeply falling percentage active cases.
Early identification helps to ensure timely and prompt isolation of the mild and moderate cases and hospitalisation of the severe and critical cases thereby leading to the effective management of cases.
It is important to note that the COVID-19 infection still remains concentrated in 10 States that contribute more than 80% of the new cases. The aggressive testing and tracking through house-to-house surveys and well-implemented containment strategies and surveillance in these areas may lead to an initial increase in positive cases. However, well-implemented strategies will ensure it reduces over time.
