    What's the story

    India on Thursday reported over 9,000 new COVID-19 cases with an active caseload of just under one lakh.

    Active cases now account for just 0.29% of the total cases, the lowest since March 2020.

    Correspondingly, the recovery rate was recorded at 98.35%.

    Meanwhile, India's daily positivity rate was recorded at 0.89%. It has been under 2% for the last 59 days.

    Context

    Why does it matter?

    India on Thursday reported a marginally higher number of COVID-19 cases compared to the last few days.

    However, India's active caseload remained below the one-lakh mark for the second consecutive day.

    The weekly positivity rate also remained under 1% for over two weeks.

    Both the Centre and states are stepping up measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus variant Omicron.

    Statistics

    Over 8K more patients discharged

    According to the Union Health Ministry, India reported a total of 3,46,06,541 COVID-19 cases till Sunday morning. The death toll reached 4,69,724.

    With 8,548 fresh discharges, India's recoveries stand at 3,40,37,054.

    In the past 24 hours, 9,765 new cases and 477 fresh fatalities were reported.

    The weekly positivity rate was recorded at 0.85%. It has remained under 1% the last 18 days.

    Trend

    India's second wave peaked on May 7

    India's second wave peaked on May 7, when 4.14 lakh single-day cases were reported, over four times the number of cases reported during the first wave in mid-September 2020.

    Although infections have declined since the second wave peaked, India crossed the three crore-mark on June 23.

    India had crossed the one crore-mark on December 19, 2020, and the 2 crore-mark on May 4, 2021.

    States

    Kerala adds majority of new cases

    Maharashtra reported 767 new COVID-19 cases along with 903 more recoveries.
