India’s vaccination drive against Covid-19 has been making massive strides in the last few weeks. A total of 220.61 cr doses (95.19 cr second dose and 22.84 precautions dose) have been administered so far under the nationwide vaccination drive. This number is even more impressive given the fact that 1,13,507 doses were administered just in the last 24 hours.
The total active caseload in India currently stands at 1,781, 0.01% of the total cases recorded, which is a far cry from the peak of 10.17 lakh we witnessed in September 2020. With the active caseload being so low, it is no surprise that the recovery rate is currently at a healthy 98.81%. In the last 24 hours, 111 people have recovered from the virus, taking the total recoveries to 4,41,51,219.
The daily positivity rate is 0.08%, which is an indication of the effectiveness of India’s containment measures. The weekly positivity rate is also a healthy 0.08%. However, it must be noted that a total of 109 new cases were recorded in the past 24 hours, confirming that the virus is still a threat even as we make progress against it. With the right measures and effective vaccine rollout, India can definitely fight this virus and bring the pandemic to an end.
