The Secretary said, the average dose per day administered in August is 59.29 lakh and in the last week of the month more than 80 lakh doses per day were administered. He said, from 279 districts that were reporting 100 cases on a daily basis in June this year, the number has come down to 42 districts that are reporting more than 100 cases on a daily basis on 30th of August.

Mr. Bhushan said, Kerala is one state that has more than one lakh active cases. He said, four states Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have 10 thousand to one lakh active cases. The Secretary said, rest of the States and UTs have less than 10 thousand active cases.
