(Anjali Shreya, Intern Journalist): Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Tuesday that the recovery rate of COVID-19 in the national capital has reached 84 percent with a total of 1,04,918 patients recovering from the virus.
“Yesterday, 954 new cases were reported in Delhi. A total of 1,23,747 cases have been reported in the city so far. However, yesterday, 1,784 people were recovered from COVID-19, which was much higher than the number of new cases.” The minister told.
According to the minister, the decline in the number of cases is due to greater awareness among the people. “We are fully prepared for any event. No one knows how this virus will behave. Any assumption can fail anytime.
