Photos: Only 6.55% active Covid-19 cases in India; recoveries at 7.6 million
According to the Health Ministry’s data updated on November 3, India’s active caseload of coronavirus disease stood at 6.55% of the total positive cases in the country. This came as a big win in the country’s fight with coronavirus as the multiple states continue to report a high daily caseload. According to the Union Ministry, the regular rise in cases is a result of the peak of festive season – which has brought people out to the streets in violation of basic Covid-19 protocol. India’s total coronavirus caseload rests just above 8.26 million cases with 38,310 new cases and 490 deaths reported in the last 24 hours.
