New Delhi, Aug 7 (UNI) As the total number of cases in India crossed the 20-lakh mark, there was a surge of hope due to continuously rising recovery rate among the Covid-19 patients and Case Fatality Rate that has remained much below the global average.
While the recovery rate is at a record high of 68 per cent, the Case Fatality Rate has touched a new low of 2.05 per cent, thus ensuring low mortality among Covid-19 patients. These two in tandem have enabled a higher and rising difference -- more than 7.7 lakh -- between the number of recovered patients and active cases in India.
