The Ministry said the number of recovered patients has grown over four times from the first week of July to the first week of September 2020.
 
Effective implementation of the 'Test, Track, and Treat' approach has led to higher recoveries and lower fatality. Currently, India's Case Fatality Rate is at 1.75 percent. In the last 24 hours, 83 thousand 883 new cases have been reported taking the total number of positive cases to 38 lakh 53 thousand 407.
