Unfortunately, two more deaths have been recorded, bringing the total death toll to 5,31,856. As of 8 am, the total COVID-19 case tally stands at 4.49 crore (4,49,88,916). However, it is worth noting that active cases now constitute only 0.02 percent of the total infections in the country.
The government’s ongoing efforts to administer COVID-19 vaccines have played a significant role in curbing the spread of the virus. As per the ministry’s website, an impressive 220.66 crore doses of the COVID vaccine have been administered across the country.
