The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has claimed that India’s COVID-19 case fatality rate has fallen below 2.5% due to the Centre and State/UT governments efforts to efficiently manage coronavirus hospitalised cases.
The Ministry also said that with effective containment strategy, aggressive testing and standardised clinical management protocols based on holistic Standard of Care approach the rate of fatalities has witnessed a significant dip.
“The Case Fatality Rate is progressively falling and currently, it is 2.49%. India has one of the lowest fatality rates in the world,” the Health Ministry said.
