New Delhi: India reported a sharp rise of 11,692 covid cases and 28 deaths in a single day, the health ministry said on Friday.

The number of active cases stood at 66,170. The daily positivity rate has reached 5.09% and the weekly positivity rate stood at 5.33 %.

In the last three years of the pandemic, India has reported more than 44.9 million cases and 531258 covid related deaths. Scientists have said that the XBB.1.16 variant of coronavirus is responsible for the current surge.

But the infection is supposed to be milder in nature and may not lead to a rise in hospitalisation rate as Indians have likely developed hybrid immunity due to vaccination and natural exposure to the disease.
