mortality rates, rising recoveries, increase in testing and a boost to investment in health infrastructure have also emerged as a silver lining.
While the coronavirus caseload is high at 1,001,508, the bulk of the infections are restricted to a handful of states.Only two states, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, now constitute 48% of the country’s total active caseload, according to the Union health ministry.
Just 10 states account for 85% of the total active caseload.Starting mid-June, when India crossed the 50% mark in the recovery rate, there has been a steady increase in the number of recovered patients.
