Covid India 3rd Wave

India logs 71,365 new COVID-19 cases, 1,217 deaths; active cases below 9-lakh mark

The active caseload comprises 2.11 per cent of the total infections, while the national coronavirus recovery rate has improved to 96.70 per cent, said the health ministry

India reports 67,597 new COVID-19 cases, positivity rate falls to 5.02%

The active coronavirus infections have declined to 9,94,891, comprising 2.35 per cent of the total, said the health ministry in its daily bulletin

Third COVID wave deaths significantly lower than second due to high vaccination rate, says Centre

The government said that 94 percent of India's adults have been administered the first dose of a COVID vaccine, while 72 percent are fully vaccinated

Experts say hybrid immunity, high vaccination numbers may prevent third COVID-19 wave in India

Coronavirus cases may rise, perhaps across late December-February, but the impact will be milder than what India experienced in the second wave when thousands died and many thousands more were hospitalised
