Coronavirus: India records less than 40,000 fresh COVID-19 cases after a week.
New Delhi:
India has registered 38,310 fresh COVID-19 infections in the last 24 hours when 490 people lost their lives to the viral disease, government data released this morning shows.
The country has so far recorded a total of 82.67 lakh Covid cases with 1,23,097 coronavirus related deaths.
The one-day Covid tally is 15 per cent lower than Sunday’s when the country recorded about 45,000 new cases.
India has been experiencing a consistent decline in coronavirus cases since its peak in September. However, experts have cautioned that dropping temperature and laxity in practising Covid-safe behaviour – wearing masks and social distancing – could lead to a sharper spike in the winter months.
