Active cases have gone down considerably in the past week in India. It is a good sign that India has the highest number of recovered patients in the world (more than 60 lakhs)-- It is 10 lakhs more than USA.

Even India's active cases are just half of the active patients in the USA this is a very good sign and shows India is doing much better than the developed world despite not very big medical infrastructure 

But we must not forget that India is not a small country. India's many states have more population than many European countries. so it can hit anywhere anytime. Keep precaution.

India on a steady trajectory of dipping %Active Cases

Active caseload only 13.75% of Total Positive Cases

74% of the New Recovered Cases concentrated in 10 States/UTs

New Recoveries exceed the new Confirmed Cases in 25 States/UTs

India continues to report a trend of steadily declining active cases as a percentage of the total positive cases.

Presently the active cases comprise merely 13.75% of the total positive cases of the country standing at 9,19,023. 

 

The declining trend of the percentage active cases is commensurately supported by rising percentage of recovered cases.

The total recovered cases stand at 56,62,490. The gap between Recovered cases and Active cases has crossed 47 lakh (47,43,467).

With increasing number of recoveries, this gap is continuously widening.

Higher number of recoveries has aided the national Recovery Rate to further improve to 84.70%. 75,787 have recovered and discharged in the last 24 hours whereas the new confirmed cases stand at 61,267.

The new recoveries have exceeded the new confirmed cases in 25 States/UTs.

 

74% of the new recovered cases are observed to be concentrated in 10 States/UTs viz. Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Delhi, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal.

Maharashtra alone has contributed the maximum with nearly 13,000 single day recovery.

61,267 new confirmed cases were recorded in last 24 hours.

75% of the new cases are from 10 States and UTs. Maharashtra continues to be the State reporting a very high number of new cases with more than 10,000 cases followed by Karnataka with more than 7,000 cases.

 

884 case fatalities have been reported in the past 24 hours.

Of these, nearly 80% are concentrated in ten State/UTs of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Delhi and  Madhya Pradesh.

More than 29% of new fatalities reported are from Maharashtra (263 deaths).

The new corona cases added on October 6 is surprisingly low.

Does it mean India has touched its high and going down.

To some extent it is right, but there is no need to be complacent

Corona second wave may hit back, there are still over a dozen countries where Corona cases has not reached its peak.

Active Cases continue to be less than 10 lakh for Two Unbroken Weeks

India has crossed a landmark milestone. The active cases has been maintained the below the 10 lakh mark for 14 days unabated.

For two straight weeks today, the active cases are less than 1 million (10 lakhs

The Centre-led strategies of “TEST TRACK TRACE TREAT TECHNOILOGY” have been followed by the State/UT governments, as part of the Whole of Government approach. Early identification of the cases through aggressive and accessible countrywide testing combined with other measures such as prompt and efficient tracking and tracing of the contacts have borne results. The Centre has issued the Standard Treatment Protocol which has ensured a standardised standard of treatment and cure across various hospitals and health facilities, public and private.

76,737 recoveries have been registered in the last 24 hours in the country whereas the new confirmed cases stand at 74,442. The new recoveries have exceeded the new cases in the recent days.

India’s total recoveries stands at 55,86,703 today.

The higher number of single day recoveries has resulted in sustained increase in the national recovery rate, currently pegged at 84.34%.

75% of new recovered cases are recorded in 10 States and UTs. Maharashtra alone has contributed more than 15,000 to the new recovered cases followed by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with more than 7,000 cases each.

India sustains trend of consistent low level of Active Cases

For the 10th successive day, Active Cases below 10 lakh mark

India's total Recoveries nearly 53 lakh

The last 10 lakh recoveries added in just 12 days

Posted On: 01 OCT 2020

India has sustained its trend of maintaining the active cases below the 10 lakh mark.

For the 10th successive day, the active cases are less than 1 million (10 lakhs).

With a very high number of COVID patients recovering every single day, India’s steady trend of posting high level of daily recoveries also continues. 85,376 recoveries have been registered in the last 24 hours in the country.

India’s total recoveries stands at 52,73,201 today. Higher number of single day recoveries have resulted in continuous increase in the national recovery rate, which is currently pegged at 83.53%.

The rise in total recovered cases has been steep. The last 10 lakh recoveries were added in just 12 days.

77% of the total recovered cases are recorded in 10 States/UTs.

Maharashtra has contributed the highest number to the total recovered cases followed by Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

The active cases in India are 9,40,705. India reported 9.4 lakh active cases earlier on 11th September, 2020.

India has been recording higher number of recoveries than the new cases for several consecutive days in the recent past.

92,043 new recoveries have been reported in the last 24 hours in the country. 76% of the new recovered cases are found in 10 States/UTs.

Maharashtra continues to top this list. It has alone contributed more than 23,000 followed by Andhra Pradeshwith more than more than 9,000 cases.

 

A total of 88,600 new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours in the country. 10 States/UTs account for 77% of the new confirmed cases.

Maharashtra continues to lead this tally. It has contributed more than 20,000 followed by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with more than more than 8,000 and 7,000 cases respectively.

There have been 1,124 deaths in the past 24 hours.

10 States/UTs account for 84% of the deaths in the last 24 hours due to COVID.

Of the new deaths, Maharashtra reported more than 38% of deaths with 430 deaths followed by Karnataka and Tamil Nadu with 86 and 85 deaths, respectively.

India's testing has touched 6.64 lakhs a day. So far a total of 2.21 crores testing has been done. It is the highest number of testing after China (approx 9 crores), USA 6.23 crores,  and Russia 2.9 crores.

This has lead to an increase in CORONA positive numbers. Daily more than 50,000 new cases coming up. On August 5, it was highest ever 56,000. In another way still, 8-9% of people are being tested positive. This suggests that we are far away from the peak. Or maybe by the end of September India attains its peak.

But the only solace is Testing Tracking and Treatment appears to be working. India's daily death figure has not yet crossed more than 1,000. Whereas during its first peak, USA's daily death toll was around 2,500 a day (total population around 33 crores), if we take this yardstick, the daily death should touch more than 10,000 a day. Now let's take UK's example, its population is 6 crores and daily deaths during peak were around 900, again by this standard, daily deaths during India's peak should touch more than 1300. If we take an average of daily deaths of developed countries during its COVID19 peak, it is several times higher than India.

Good News:

India records highest ever single day recoveries of 51,706

Recovery Rate reaches a record high of 67.19%

Case Fatality Rate (CFR) further dips to 2.09%

earlier on JULY 21

India has recorded the highest ever single-day recoveries in the last 24 hours. With a sharp increase of 51,706 COVID-19 patients recovering, the recovery rate has reached a new high of 67.19% and continues to improve each day. The recoveries till now total up to 12,82,215, more than twice the active cases.

With the increasing number of COVID-19 patients recovering, there has been a 63.8% increase in recovered cases in the last 14 days, indicating that the COVID-19 response and management driven by the Centre’s “TEST, TRACK, TREAT” strategy is yielding the desired results.

The aggressive testing along with ramped up hospital infrastructure by collective efforts of the public and private sectors has ensured the increasing Recovery Rate which has improved from 63% to 67% in the last 14 days.

My earlier blog written last week

The “Test, Track, Treat”  (TTT Policy) strategy, 4.4 lakh COVID-19 tests in a single day.  More than 36,000 patients recovered in one day--highest ever

The Union government has advised all State/UT governments to keep up with and effectively implement the strategy of “Test, Track and Treat”. For the first time, a record number of more than 4,40,000 tests have been conducted in a single day. With 4,42,263 samples tested in the last 24 hours, the number of Test Per Million (TPM) has further increased to 11,805 and cumulative testing to 1,62,91,331. For the first time, Government labs have set a new record of testing 3,62,153 samples. The private labs have also scaled a new high of 79,878 samples tested in a single day.

yesterday recorded the highest ever recoveries in a single day. 36,145 COVID-19 patients were cured and discharged in the last 24 hours. This has taken the total number of recovered cases to 8,85,576. The recovery rate has achieved another high of fast approaching 64%. It stands at 63.92% today. This means more patients are recovering thus maintaining the steadily widening difference between recovered and active COVID-19 patients.

This gap has crossed 4 lakh and currently stands at 4,17,694. Recovered cases are 1.89 times the active cases (4,67,882). The aggressive testing along with ramped up hospital infrastructure by combining public and private sector efforts has enabled early identification and prompt triaging of COVID-19 patients leading to lower fatalities. As a result, the Case Fatality Rate is progressively falling and currently, it is 2.31%. India has one of the lowest fatality rates in the world.

Written on July 21

The TTT strategy has been implemented through various measures by centre and state governments in India substantially expanded its testing network. They have also undertaken measures to facilitate widespread testing by people at large. As a result, the national average of tests/day/million  (TDM) has substantially jumped to 180, as on date.

WHO in its Guidance Note on “Public Health Criteria to Adjust Public Health and Social Measures in the Context of COVID-19” has advised comprehensive surveillance for suspected COVID19 cases. WHO has advised that a country needs 140 TDM whereas  India is conducting 40 TsDM more.

There are currently 19 State/UTs which are conducting more than 140 tests per day per million. The State of Goa is testing highest at 1333 tests per day per million.

The Centre and ICMR have continually advised the State/UT governments to improve the number of tests conducted. Through the coordinated efforts, India’s testing per million (TPM) has increased to 10421. This has helped in early detection and timely and effective clinical management of COVID-19 cases.

In tandem with increased testing, the Confirmation Rate or Positivity Rate for India is continuously reducing and currently stands at 8.07%. There are 30 State/UTs in India which have lower Positivity Rate than the India average. This indicates that Centre-led initiative of increased testing is working in yielding positive results.

Ends.
