Coronavirus update: India's total number of coronavirus cases has reached the 200,000-mark, even as the country is in the midst of a watered-down Lockdown 5.0, or 'India Unlock 1.0' as it is called. 

The Health Ministry on Tuesday asserted that the coronavirus recovery rate is continuously improving, while the fatality rate is on the decline and one of the lowest in the world at 2.82 per cent, compared to a global fatality rate of 6.13 per cent.

Over 100,000 samples are being tested every day to detect coronavirus infection, said the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) on Tuesday, adding that India is far from the peak of Covid-19.
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII's) Annual Session 2020- “Getting Growth Back” and assured India Inc that growth in the economy would return soon. Modi said India had already begun getting its growth back with ‘unlock phase-1’.

“While it is true that coronavirus has slowed down our growth, India has now left the lockdown behind and has entered unlock phase 1. So in a way, we have already started getting our growth back. I have confidence in India’s capabilities, crisis management,” Modi said in his speech.
 
Coronavirus world update: The global tally of coronavirus cases now stands at 6,406,078, and 378,186 people have died from the disease so far.
