    India is currently witnessing a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. This comes after it recorded a sharp decline in infections from January end to April beginning.

    On Sunday, India reported fewer COVID-19 cases than the day before.

    However, both the active caseload and daily positivity rates recorded an increase in the last 24 hours. Among the states/UTs, Kerala added the most cases to the tally.

    Statistics

    13,929 patients discharged

    According to the data shared by the Union Health Ministry, India reported a total of 43,502,429 COVID-19 cases until Sunday, while the cumulative death count stands at 5,25,199.

    With 13,929 fresh discharges, the number of total recoveries in the country climbed to 4,28,65,519.

    On the other hand, the daily and weekly positivity rates were recorded at 4.27% and 3.81%, respectively.

    While Karnataka saw 975 new cases and 668 discharges, Tamil Nadu recorded 2,533 fresh infections and 1,372 recoveries.

    On the other hand, Delhi reported 678 new cases and 969 discharges.

    The third wave peaked on January 21, 2022, when 3.47 lakh single-day cases were recorded.
