Every day there is a record of Coronavirus infection in the country and due to a large number of new cases of infections, it took just 11 days to reach the number of 4 to 5 million infected.
According to the data released on Wednesday by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the total number of infected cases has crossed 50 lakhs, reaching 50,220,360 with 9,0123 new cases during the last 24 hours.
On Tuesday, the number of corona dead had crossed 80 thousand. After the spread of corona infection in the country, ten thousand patients died in just nine days and the number increased from 80 thousand to more than 80 thousand. How the Kovid-19 has spread wildly in the country can be gauged from the fact that within two months the infection has been confirmed in 4 million people.
The first case of corona in the country came to light on January 30 this year. After this, it took five and a half months to reach the number of 01 to 1 million. The first million cases occurred in 167 days. After this, this deadly virus spread like Sursa so much that now the country is number one in the world in most new cases every day.
In 21 days, the number of corona patients increased from 1 million to 2 million. After this the gap kept narrowing and 20 to 30 lakh cases reached in 16 days, 30 to 40 lakh in 13 days and 40 to 50 lakh in just 11 days. The country is second in the world in the Corona case. America is first and Brazil is third.
The total infected in the country is 5 million 20 thousand 360. The dead have been 82,066 and the active cases are 9 lakh 95 thousand 933 while 39 lakh 42 thousand 361 have defeated the virus. In the heart of the horrific form of Corona, it is reassuring that the recovery rate is 78.33 percent and the death rate is only 1.63 percent. Active cases constitute less than 20 percent of the total cases, 19.84 percent.
The magical moment a pair of swimmers were joined by a playful pod of dolphins on Victoria's coast has been caught on camera.
The two swimmers were relaxing in the ocean off the coast of Lorne on the Great Ocean Road, 138km south-west of Melbourne.
Since Melbourne has been in a hard lockdown since August 2, residents in regional Victoria, including Lorne, have been allowed to go outside to exercise without the strict one-hour time limit.
They are also allowed to undergo outdoor recreation but can only gather with one person from outside their household in public.
But that is all due to change at 11.59pm Wednesday when regional parts of the state progress to the third step in Premier Daniel Andrews' lockdown reopening roadmap.
