COVID-19: India reports 4,194 new cases; 255 more deaths
India's COVID-19 recovery rate has reached 98.70%.

India on Friday reported over 4,000 new COVID-19 cases, marking a marginal rise of 10 cases from the previous day.

Meanwhile, India's COVID-19 recovery rate has reached 98.70%.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • After two years of the pandemic, India has been witnessing a continued decline in COVID-19 cases, indicated by declining active cases and weekly positivity rate.
  • This comes after India witnessed a massive spurt in coronavirus infections in December-end and at the beginning of January.
  • The spike in cases—dubbed India's third wave—was attributed to the Omicron variant.

Over 6K patients discharged

According to data shared by the Union Health Ministry, India reported a total of 4,29,84,261 COVID-19 cases till Friday morning, while the cumulative death count reached 5,15,714. With 6,208 fresh discharges, the number of total recoveries in the country climbed to 4,24,26,328. The daily positivity rate and the weekly positivity rate were recorded at 0.52% and 0.55%, respectively.

Kerala adds most new cases

Maharashtra reported 452 new COVID-19 cases along with 494 more recoveries. Kerala, the second worst-hit state after Maharashtra, reported 1,426 new cases and 2,055 discharges.

Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh reported 88 new cases and 97 recoveries.

India's second wave peaked on May 7

India's second wave peaked on May 7, 2021, 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 declined after the second wave peaked, India crossed the three-crore mark on June 23. The country crossed the one-crore mark on December 19, 2020, and the two-crore mark on May 4, 2021.
