Union health ministry on Wednesday revealed that 17 states and union territories played a vital role to help India sustain a high Covid-19 recovery figure. India’s Covid-19 recovery rate of these states and UTs is higher than the national recovery rate.
“India’s total Covid-19 recoveries have crossed 56.6 lakh. This has boosted the national recovery rate to reach 84.7%. This sustained high figure is fuelled by 17 states/UTs reporting recovery rate higher than the national average,” the ministry said.
The 17 states/union territories are:
- Daman and Diu; Dadra and Nagar Haveli (96.7%)
- Andaman and Nicobar Islands (93.8%)
- Bihar (93.4%)
- Andhra Pradesh (92.1%)
- Tamil Nadu (91.1%)
- Delhi (90.2%)
- Haryana (90.1%)
- West Bengal (88%)
- Uttar Pradesh (87.8%)
- Odisha (87.7%)
- Jharkhand (87.3%)
- Mizoram (86.3%)
- Telangana (86.3%)
- Punjab (86.1%)
- Gujarat (85.9%)
- Chandigarh (85.8%)
- Goa (85.3%)
As per the health ministry’s dashboard, in an overall caseload of 6,685,082, India has reported 5,662,490 recoveries. While, after the United States, this makes India the second-worst Covid-19 affected country, India also made a record in the highest number of coronavirus recoveries in the world with a recovery rate of 84.7%.
A figure in the ministry has highlighted repeatedly that in recent days, India has contributed more than 20% of the total global recoveries.
The second-highest number of recoveries have been reported by the world’s worst-affected country, The US. While the third worst-hit, Brazil also has the third-highest number of recoveries (4.3 million).
Meanwhile, the tally of India’s active cases and deaths stands at 919,023 and 103,569, respectively. After a nationwide lockdown from March 25 to May 31, it is currently in the fifth stage of ‘unlocking’.
