India’s coronavirus outbreak showed signs of slowing down as the country reported less than 50,000 daily cases for over week.
India added over 45,231 new cases in a matter of 24 hours, taking the total tally to over 82 lakh in the world’s second-worst infected country, according to the Health Ministry’s update as of 8 a.m. on Nov. 2. This includes over 1.22 lakh deaths and 7.54 lakh patients who have recovered.
The slower pace of daily infections and an improved recovery rate have led to a sharp decline in active cases. It fell below the 6-lakh mark, on Friday, for the first time since Aug. 6 after climbing above 10 lakh in mid-September. Active cases now account for less than 8% of the total caseload.
The daily death rate too has eased. Authorities today reported less than 500 deaths in 24 hours, for the second straight day.
