The drop in the percentage of active cases is due to the increasing percentage of cured cases. Recovery rate in India has exceeded the number of new cases for three consecutive weeks. The ministry said that on September 9, there were 8.97 lakh active cases in the country. So far, a total of 59,06,069 people in the country have recovered from Covid-19 and this is more than 50,12,477 active cases.
This is a result of collaborative action by the Center, states and the Union Territories as part of a strategy for more testing, tracking, rapid hospitalization and adhering to standard treatment protocols that have led to standardized quality of medical care and public isolation in public and private hospitals.
