    Coronavirus: India's death toll reaches 460; Maharashtra cases cross 3,000
  • In a week's time, the coronavirus cases in India doubled, reaching 13,500, data compiled from state government statistics showed.

    Till now, 460 people have lost their lives due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

    Meanwhile, as the Opposition slammed the government alleging a low testing rate, the latter maintained that the absolute number of tests conducted will not be the defining criteria for India.

    India's Health Ministry reports 12,759 cases, 420 deaths

    India's Health Ministry reports 12,759 cases, 420 deaths
  • According to the Union Health Ministry's latest update, by 5 pm on Thursday, India had reported a total of 12,759 COVID-19 cases.

    These include 420 deaths and 10,824 active cases along with 1,514 patients who were cured/discharged, and one patient who migrated out of India.

    Data compiled from official state government statistics showed that India has reported over 13,566 COVID-19 cases, including 460 deaths.

  • Note

    Important note for compilation of COVID-19 data

  • For West Bengal, the total COVID-19 cases taken into account were 231, as reflected on the Union Health Ministry website. This is because the state government has only confirmed 144 active cases in the bulletin and not the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases.

    Andhra Pradesh has not released its evening bulletin, hence the cases accounted for are those reported till Thursday 10 am.

    3,036 Indians abroad test positive, 25 dead
  • Sources told ANI that 3,036 Indians have tested positive for COVID-19 in 53 countries abroad and 25 patients have died.

    The Health Ministry said 325 districts in India are coronavirus-free. This was cited as an argument against India's apparent low testing rate—since not everyone is "vulnerable," they don't need to be tested.

    Both Arunachal Pradesh and Andaman and Nicobar now have zero active cases.
