The daily caseload is 25 per cent lower than yesterday's 41,100. The drop in infections comes due to a fall in positivity rate to 3.5 per cent. This sudden decline in daily case count has a result amid a slow but constant surge in northern states, including Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Globally, over 5.43 crore people have been affected by the coronavirus disease and it killed more than 13 lakh, according to Johns Hopkins University.
