India’s total COVID-19 recoveries have reached nearly 21 lakh today. 20,96,664 patients recoveries have been made possible because of the effective implementation of the policy of TESTING aggressively, TRACKING comprehensively & TREATING efficiently. With the recoveries of 58,794 in the last 24 hours, India’s Recovery Rate amongst the COVID-19 patients has reached near 74% reflecting that the number of patients recovering is on a steady rise over the past several months. Focus on Standard of Care protocol, including the use of non-invasive oxygen, better-skilled doctors in the ICUs and hospitals and improved ambulance services have culminated in yielding the desired results.
India has posted more than 14 lakh recoveries than the active 6.8 lakh cases.
Early identification through TESTING, surveillance & contact TRACING along with the focus on timely and appropriate clinical TREATMENT of COVID19 patients have ensured that not only is the Case Fatality Rate is lower than the global average and progressively declining (the current figure is 1.89%), but also a small proportion of the active cases are on ventilator support.
