The number of coronavirus cases in the country is over 13,000, however, patients recovering from the deadly contagion are also rising across the country.
On Friday, nearly 13% of the total Covid-19 patients in the country were reported either cured of the virus or discharged from the hospital. The number of recoveries has gone up from last week’s 8%.
Highest cases of coronavirus recoveries come from Maharashtra and Kerala. Nearly 10% of cases in Maharashtra have beaten the deadly contagion (300 patients). Maharashtra has reported more than 3,000 coronavirus cases so far.
Of Delhi’s 1,640 cases, 51 have made a recovery which is around 3%. This is also because of the fact that the national capital witnessed a sudden surge in its Covid-19 cases after scores of jamaatis, who attended a religious gathering at Nizamuddin’s Markaz in March, tested positive of the virus.
Delhi accounts for one of the highest coronavirus death tolls in the country after states such Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. As many as 38 people have died here.
