Following “TEST, TRACK, TREAT” strategy, India tests nearly 3.7 crore

The record high recoveries have ensured that the actual caseload of the country viz. the active cases, has reduced and currently comprises only22.24% of the total positive cases.

As a result of the combined efforts of the Union Government and the States/UTs, there have been focused and effective measures of testing, containment through surveillance and contact tracing, isolation in home setting and institutions, coupled with efficient treatment in upgraded medical infrastructure through three categories of COVID facilities. These comprise the Dedicated COVID Care Centres, Dedicated COVID Health Centres and Dedicated COVID Hospitals. These sustained measures have collectively borne results. The steadily falling Case Fatality Rates stands at 1.84% today.
