Recovery Rate climbs a new high of nearly 68 percent

New Delhi, Aug 07: India continues on the path of COVID-19 management boosted by two significant achievements, continuously rising recovery rate among the COVID-19 patients and Case Fatality Rate that has remained much below the global average. 

While the former is at a record high of 68 percent, the latter has touched a new low of 2.05 percent, thus ensuring low mortality among COVID-19 patients. These two in tandem have enabled a higher and rising difference (more than 7.7 lakhs) between the number of recovered patients and active cases in India, PIB release stated. 

The total recoveries have jumped to 13,78,105 with a recovery of 49,769 patients in the last 24 hours.
