According to the Union health ministry dashboard at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, India had 1,27,510 new coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases in the previous 24 hours. In this time period, 2,795 new fatalities were recorded, bringing the total death toll to 331,895. The total number of Covid-19 infections in the country is now 28,175,044. The overall scenario shows a daily decline in the number of new Covid-19 cases, with recoveries outnumbering the single-day rise for nearly three weeks.
According to the coronavirus dashboard at the Union ministry of health and family welfare, people suffering from Covid-19 have improved in their condition over the last 24 hours. It showed that India’s Covid-19 recovery rate is now at 91.60 percent. Although there are currently active cases in India, the number has been steadily declining in line with the coronavirus’s waning second wave.
The decrease in the nationwide Covid-19 tally is directly linked to a sharp drop in cases seen in regions such as Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat, according to the health ministry. States like Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Chhattisgarh have extended their respective coronavirus-induced lockdowns/curfews to break the chain of transmission and gain control over disease spread, despite some relaxation in curbs.
On the global front, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a new nomenclature for the Covid-19 variants, which were previously referred to by their technical letter-number codes or the countries in which they first appeared.
The most dangerous coronavirus disease variants, known as “variants of concern,” will now be referred to by letters in the Greek alphabet, according to WHO. This was done in order to achieve a more fair and understandable balance in the Covid-19 reportage.
