covid cases rose to more than 4.37 crore, according to the health ministry. Since the onset of covid-19, more than 5,25,760 deaths have been reported across the country.
While Delhi has witnessed an active caseload of 1,974, Maharashtra has 15,525 cases, Haryana has recorded 2,055 cases while Kerala has reported more than 24,033 covid cases at present.
Tamil Nadu has 17,085 active cases; Karnataka has reported 7,569 active cases so far. With increasing number of covid cases and low uptake of booster doses across India, last week the union health ministry launched a mission mode campaign to provide free-of-cost booster doses to all individuals above 18 years old at government vaccination centres.
Under the covid vaccination drive, India has administered 200 crore total vaccine doses (92.61 crore second dose and 5.67 crore precaution dose) so far.
