India on Sunday witnessed another dip in daily COVID-19 cases as the country reported 3.11 lakh fresh infection in the 24 last hours, said the Union Health Ministry, adding that 4,077 deaths were recorded during the same period.
As per the data available on the Health Ministry website, India's death toll stands at 2.70 lakh while the total caseload is at 2.46 crore. The country has 36.18 lakh active COVID-19 cases which comprise 15.07 per cent of the total caseload.
On the other hand, the number of recovered people has reached 2.07 crore-mark -- a recovery rate of 83.83 per cent -- after 3.62 lakh patients recovered from the disease in the last 24 hours.
Delhi and Maharashtra, most worst affected states in the country, continued to see a dip and recorded just 6,430 and 34,848 fresh cases. On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Haryana reported 12,547, 7,336 and 9,676 fresh cases respectively. Meanwhile, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Gujarat logged 41,664, 7,664 and 9,061 cases respectively.
Though India saw a dip in its cases, it could be attributed to the fact that less number of tests are conducted on Saturdays and Sundays which eventually reflects on the numbers.
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), 31,48,50,143 samples have been tested up to May 15 with 18,32,950 samples being tested on Saturday.
