The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Monday informed India's Case Fatality Rate is progressively falling and currently, it is 2.28%. Presently, India has one of the lowest fatality rates in the world.

Continuing the streak of more than 30,000 recoveries per day for the fourth successive day, 31,991 patients were discharged in the last 24 hours, the ministry data revealed.

This has taken the total recoveries beyond 9 lakh and the number currently stands at 9,17,567. The Recovery Rate of the country is 64%.

As a result of low mortality and more people recovering, the recovered cases exceed the active cases (4,85,114) by 4,32,453 today.

The ministry stressed that the focused efforts of Centre and State/UT governments on early detection and isolation through aggressive testing and efficient clinical management of hospitalized cases have shown results with continuously falling Case Fatality Rate and improving Recovery Rate. With effective containment strategy, aggressive testing and standardized clinical management protocols based on holistic Standard of Care approach, the Case Fatality Rate has significantly dipped.
