India reports 1,761 more COVID-19 cases, 127 deaths

India on Sunday reported less than 2,000 new COVID-19 cases, the lowest in about 688 days. The active caseload in the country currently stands at 26,240, which accounts for 0.06% of the total cases.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • India is witnessing a continuous fall in COVID-19 cases and reported fewer infections on Sunday than the day before.
  • Meanwhile, both active caseload and positivity rates are also continuing with their declining trend.
  • 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.
