(Riya Singh, Intern Journalist): India recorded its highest single-day coronavirus disease recoveries, in excess of 56,000, taking the overall recovery rate to 70%. “The record highest single-day recoveries at 56,110 registered in the last 24 hours are the result of the successful implementation of effective containment strategy, aggressive and comprehensive testing coupled with the standardized clinical management of the critical patients based on holistic Standard of Care approach,” the ministry said in a statement.
India’s Covid-19 average daily recoveries have been constantly increasing, with the first week of July recording 15,000 daily average recovered cases, which leaped to at least 50,000 in the first week of August. Previous highest single-day recoveries were recorded on August 10, when 54,859 patients had recovered. With more patients recovering and being discharged from hospitals and home isolation, the total recoveries have crossed the 1.6 million mark to reach 1,639,599.
“We have more drugs and support therapies as compared to what we had a few months ago. There is a better knowledge of what works and what does not to improve the condition of a Covid-19 patient,” said Dr. Srikant Sharma, senior consultant in the department of medicine at Moolchand Hospital.
The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is currently 1.98%. India’s testing capacity is also steadily increasing, and on Tuesday, a record number of single-day tests- 7,33,449- were conducted in 1,421 labs approved to perform Covid-19 testing across the country, including both public (944) and private (477) laboratories. The country has conducted at least 26 million cumulative Covid-19 tests since January 22 this year.
