July has brought welcome news for Delhi in its fight against Covid-19 as the first thirteen days have largely reported more cases of people recovering daily from the coronavirus than fresh ones being added to the city's Covid-19 count, according to Delhi government data. From July 1-13, the city recorded 26,380 cases, while 32,984 people recovered. Barring July 1 and July 6, all days this month recorded more recoveries than fresh cases. As a result, the city’s recovery rate for people hit by the virus has also shot up to 80.28% as of July 13, which is much higher than the current national average of just over 63%.
