A significant milestone has been reached in India’s nationwide vaccination drive as a total of 220.66 crore vaccine doses have been administered thus far. Among these doses, 95.21 crores have been administered as the second dose, providing individuals with enhanced protection.

India’s active caseload currently stands at 10,179, representing a mere 0.02% of the total reported cases.

Over the past 24 hours, 2,100 individuals have recovered, bringing the total number of recoveries to 4,44,42,065.
In the same period, 906 new cases were recorded, reflecting a daily positivity rate of 0.70%.
