In the past 24 hours, a total of 3,545 new cases and 27 COVID-19-related fatalities were recorded. Meanwhile, the country's recovery rate stood at 98.74%.

  • Notably, India is witnessing a resurgence of COVID-19 cases after recording a sharp decline from January end to April beginning.
  • Meanwhile, a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) claimed that India had under-reported COVID-19 deaths in 2020-21.
