Over 30 lakh people in the country have recovered from COVID-19 so far. In all, 66,659 patients recovered during the last 24 hours taking the overall recovery number to 30, 37,151.

The overall recovery rate has also maintained it’s upward trend and has now reached 77.15 per cent.

The Health Ministry said, the constant increase in recoveries has ensured that the actual caseload of the country is reduced and currently comprises only 21.11 per cent of the total positive cases.

The number of recovered patients is now over 3.6 times higher as compared to that of the active cases.

The Ministry said, the number of recovered patients in the country has grown over four times in a span of two months.
