India’s Covid-19 tally rose by 8,895 on Sunday, pushing the overall cases 34,633,255, according to the daily bulletin issued by the Union ministry of health and family welfare. The death toll reached 473,326, as two states – Bihar and Kerala – carried out a reconciliation exercise of its Covid data. India had recorded a single-day rise of 3,998 fatalities on July 21 after Maharashtra carried out the 14th reconciliation exercise of its Covid data.
The Union health ministry said that of the 2,796 deaths, 2,426 were reconciled deaths that had been adjusted in the national COVID database. Kerala also cleared a backlog of 263 deaths. Kerala has been reconciling deaths for the past few days, hence the death count of the state is high. The health ministry stressed that more than 70% of the deaths occurred due to comorbidities. India has had a daily rise of less than 50,000 COVID-19 cases for 161 consecutive days. The active cases stand at 99,155, comprising 0.29 per cent of the total infections, the lowest since March 2020. The national COVID-19 recovery rate was recorded at 98.35 per cent, the health ministry said.
