With focussed strategies and calibrated measures, India has sustained its global position of being the country with one of the lowest Covid-19 cases per million and reported deaths per million, the Union health ministry said. From the last five weeks, there has been a continuous decline in the average daily new cases. The ministry said, ‘The weekly average of daily new cases fell from 92,830 cases in the 2nd week of September to 70,114 cases in the 2nd week of October.’ India is reporting a consistent slide in the new confirmed cases with 55,342 fresh infections being registered in a span of 24 hours in the country. The new low in daily cases is the result of collaborative action by states and union territories under the Centre's strategy of comprehensive and aggressive testing, prompt tracking and surveillance, hospitalisation and adherence to the Standard Treatment Protocol which has ensured a standardised quality of medical care across the public and private hospitals and for home isolation. While the global figure for Covid-19 cases per million is 4,794, India is clocking 5,199 infections. The deaths/million in India are 79, while the world average is 138.
